I just took in this chicken to my flock yesterday. She is a real cutie and we named her Esmeralda. She is all black with a green iridescence to her feathers, black beak and black feet like an Australorp has. BUT she has white ears which means she will lay white eggs, Australorps lay brown and have red ears. She looks big in the pics but is really about 2/3 the size of my Plymouth Rocks and Rhodies but she has a full comb and wattles which tells me that she is probably full grown or close. I am wondering if she is a crossed breed between an Australorp and a Bantam of some kind. I could really use help identifying this one!
