What breed is this little bantam hen???

[tobit]

Can anyone guess the breed (is it a pure breed or a mix) of this little black bantam hen? I saw it at a farm park the other day & fell in love with it!!! (the ear lobes should be red i think, the white is just a fault)

black minorca is my guess. The white earlobes are normal for that breed by the way.

Hmm they do look very alike when i compare these pics with some online! is she a bantam minorca? how big are standard minorcas?

 

[21hens-incharge]

I do not know how big standard minorca are but they do come in bantam size.

She's probably a Minorca bantam.

She's probably a Minorca bantam.

Agreed. Or, she could just be a random mix breed.

She's probably a Minorca bantam.
