What breed might thisbe?

[Buckeye Amy]

You guys are silly! This bird is way too dark to be a partridge Rock--I have some now. The lacing on the feathers is really interesting. Could this be a really dark Barnevelder? I'm not very familiar with them but that's the first thing that came to mind. Then there's a black star that also came to mind. I had some a while back and they had red lacing in the hackle feathers.

This photo doesn’t look like her.

That's not a chicken.

Partridge Rock.

Partridge Plymouth Rocks on occasion can be abit dark.

Definitely not a partridge rock. I'm guessing she's either an Australorp or a black star. More likely an Australorp.

Thank you - I checked both and she looks more like a black star.

I don't know what it is for sure. I know it is not a Chukar lol

Yeah, I think it could be a Black Star

I think you’re right / I just looked at a Barnevelder and it looks the closest. Thank you.

I can't tell if the legs are white or yellow. If they're white then Plymouth Rock of any color is out. If she lays a dark brown egg, then I'd be more confident of the Barnevelder.
I've just never seen a partridge Rock so dark. They are more of a gorgeous deep red.
Interesting bird, nonetheless!

She's a Double Laced Barnevelder and I'm confident in that. Any other options make no sense. She should lay a dark brown egg.
