What breed?

Anyone know what kind of chicken this hen is? She has a green tint to her feathers when she's in the sun. Thanks in advance!

She appears to be a hatchery type Dark Cornish.

Looks like a Dark Cornish, here is the Feathersite page for them. http://feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Cornish/BRKCornish.html

She's a Dark Cornish hen, hatchery quality.

What they said. They're supposed to be great broody hens, if you're inclined to hatch out your own chicks.
