What is this hen?? Please help.

I got this hen two years ago. She is just wonderful. She is a touch bigger than the Red Leghorns that I have and still has the white earlobe and red earlobe feathers. She is fairly docile, she doesn't freak out really bad when I handle her, and she is observant and cautious when I'm in the coop. She isn't scrambling to find the nearest exit. Anyone have any clues. I would like to have more of her.

Does she lay white eggs?

I think it is a black Minorca. Less likely but possibly a Black Penedesenca. Does it have a single comb?

 

[krstms]

Could it be a black andalusian?

 

[marbec06]

White eggs, yes. Single comb, yes.

100% Black Minorcas!

Thanks all! Atlast she has been identified. Looking to get more like her! Thanks.

If her feathers are a dark brownish color, (hard to tell in the photo) she could be a dark brown leghorn.

I agree with sourland. It doesn't appear to be a Minorca to me. The coloration doesn't look completely black, but a very dark brown. The beak also has a slight yellow tinge which would say no to the Minorca. Minorcas have white skin.
