What breed of chicken??????

[teresa-78]

Hiya I have had my chicken Jet for nearly 3 years, and have often wondered what breed she is... the lady I got her from told me she was a cross but could not remember what they were... has anybody got any ideas???

Thanks

P.S more pics can be supplied

Just looked at pics of both the hens you mentioned and I see both of them in my chicken.. thanks everyone I really appreciate it

and i appreciate it too, the photo is a spitting image of one of our girls gladys. all i'd been told when we got her was she was a cross too and always wondered what the cross was.

Akaxo I would love to see a pic of your hen Gladys....

Im thinking mine definatly has orpington in and even maybe the other hen mentioned Australorp.. maybe a cross between the both

The pic I posted did not have the colouring due to it looking a bit drab because of setting on eggs..

Here are some more pics of the neck as I have just been shown some french copper black marans and they look very very similar

What does everyon else think? could mine be cross with one of these???
