What kind of chicken is she?

[Ratbird]

Blue Wyandotte is most likely.

Bought from where?

Agreed. Rose comb, bare legs, loose feathering...or a backyard mix. I have a lot of that coloration in my flock from 1 single blue cuckoo marans grandma hen (our main rooster is her son and his dad is a black copper marans)

looking at the body shape again, Wyandotte. Short upright tail, that typical Wyandotte super fluffy bum, an overall more round shape.

Wyandotte or maybe black australorp. Lovely hen!

That's what I thought, but I have had a couple hatchery "black austrolorps" that had some funny combs, like not quite single comb, but not quite pea comb... has anybody else ever gotten something like that? I thought maybe they were mostly black australorps that were poorly bred, but maybe they were a different breed? We always referred to them as vulture chickens

Black Australorps should never have a pea or a rose comb.

They were another breed entirely.

Thanks! I usually get my birds from Murray McMurray, but I THINK those ones were from a feed store...go figure

Wrong comb and color for an australorp

There are blue Aussies, but the comb type and yellow skin rule it out.

I'd be happy. Wyandottes are a nice breed.

Thanks everyone! My sister in law got the chicken and gave it to me. She can’t remember what kind she is. We live in Southern California.

Mine was just plain mean. Got rid off her. But excellent layer but her meanness was too much
