What breed is this hen?

[Clara12345]

This is my 10 month old hen Marigold, she was sold to me as a Bovan Nera but now I think she may be a Maran Cuirvree. What are your thoughts? Also her breast bone feels very prominent, is this to do with her breed? She is very healthy, she is free range, has layers pellets available all the time and is fed on lots of kitchen scraps and has left over cat food some days so I cannot image that she is unhealthily underweight.

Where in the world are you located?

Breeds available in the USA differ a lot from breeds available other places.

I am not sure of her breed, but she looks healthy and many chickens have prominent breast bones, so I would not worry about that! She is gorgeous!

I’m from the England. We don’t get many sexlinked chickens round here kept by people in their back gardens and the people I bought this one from don’t sell to big commercial farms.

First thought is definitely BSL.
Looks exactly like my first pullet. We called them Black Rocks in England. I'm also English.

She is very pretty. I didn't recognize the name so had to look them up. The first breed you listed we call black sex links here and the second breed we call black copper marans.
