We got this hen as a freebie with an order of chicks and haven't been able to figure out what breed she is.
Sorry I didn't get any pictures of her as a chick, but she was a grey color like on her belly with some black dots mostly on her face and around her eyes.
I'd say the weirdest part about her is that she looks like a rooster, but she is a hen.
Edit: I think I should add that i say hen because that is what she is acting like.
She is full grown in these pictures (just about to start laying) and she weighs about 4 Ib.

yea thats a rooster all the way no hen there splash in color as well breed i agree with everyone else a sumatra
 
I don't know about breed, not familiar with sumatras, but that doesn't just look like a rooster, it is a rooster. Why do you say it's a hen?
 
Thank you for the breed ID.

Rooster?
It was supposed to be all hens and it sure acts like one.
 
Just curious, what shows you it's a rooster? I got my rhode island red cross with new hapmshire chicks when they were five days old , there were four chicks but they said one was a rooster cos it was yellow. Well I couldn't really see a difference they all looked yellow to me!

do you mean sexlinks? When they hatch, roosters are yellow/white, and the hens are red.
