"What Kind of Chicken is This?"

[WebbsFarm]

what kind of chicken is this? we are guessing that she might be a crossed breeds though. she is a small chicken all black with a teal tint to her feathers with this little puff on top of her head the is really no comb to speak of she has a great friendly personality very accepting of any new baby chicks that come in to the hen house not aggressive at all except at feeding time. she is the biggest thief on food I've very seen she will take it from the rooster to the baby chicks. she eats like a pig for a bird LOLOLOLOL

. but all in all she's really sweet.

pictures are coming soon

My guess from your description is a Black Silkie. This is a usually bantam (small, as you described) breed that make excellent mothers. They are most known for their odd appearance, a little tuft of feathers on the top of their head.

she does not have any feathers on her feet though

Any idea what breed the black hen is and the brown rooster?

Then you are probably correct in guessing that she is a cross.

this is what she looks like with a teal color tint to her feathers and no feathers on her feet

I'm leaning some Polish blood there, only thing is that the black legs are out of place with the breed.... they should be slate.

Thanks to everyone for helpping us ID our chicken. Now we know what she is. She is a Polish-Silkie bantam that make sence.

A better pic would help be sure, but from what I can see the hen is either a black sex link or mixed breed. The rooster could be New Hampshire, production Red or mixed breed.
