What is this hen?

[BedRock Farm Ladies]

I have a beautiful black hen with spots on her chest. I named her Emerald. She lays light brown eggs as far as I know, and she came from a home with a very small coop with a tiny run, but I don’t know what she is!! All guesses are welcome!

Hi there, hope you are enjoying BYC!

Looks like black Australorp.. with exception to the white coming through.. maybe she is older? Some solid bird molt into greyness like we do.

My second guess would be possibly a black sex link or maybe Orpington cross.

She looks like a lovely addition to any flock!

She is a very sweet hen, I did some research and you may be correct. Thank you for replying!!
