What breed is this pretty hen?

[bribre]

I got this hen as a day old mix chick. She looks a lot like my black copper marans but with no copper and a darker eye colour. For some resin she lays eggs the size of a silkie... I really like her for a mix breed bird with her pretty beetle green/blue colouring but with the size of her eggs I think I'm going to re home her. Any ideas what breeds she could be?

Thanks
Bre

Looks like a black star to me

looks just like an Australorp, which is I think like a black orpington. very nice breed.

I was also thinking maybe she had Australorp in her. To bad she lays tiny little eggs...

I have three black orpingtons, this one here is Frodo the rooster, behind him is one of the pullets, they are just shy of 5 months old and they are very large chickens. Right now they are still a bit bigger than a full sized speckled sussex or a rhode island red. So maybe this will help you determine what your chicken is mixed with.

Oops forgot to ask you if the eggs were perhaps small because she just started laying?

 

[bribre]

I believe she's been laying for about 3 mouths but I guess it could be possible.

Yeah being she has only been laying for 3 months but I have hens that are close to a year and a couple going on two years old now. They lay different sized eggs all the time, it might stay around the same size but every once in a while I get one smaller than usual. However they are much larger than when they first started laying.

Ok thanks hope they get bigger.
