This is May.
She was hatched last June, and I got her from a breeder. She was sold as a Blue Australorp, but when she was about 4 months old, I realized the bottoms of her feet were yellow. (Don't know how I didn't see that before. ) Therefore, not an Australorp.
I figured she was a Blue Jersey Giant. She certainly is big. I haven't weighed her, but she is bigger than my other Blue not-Australorp and the Jubilee Orpington of the same age. She's bigger than my Black Australorp hens.
She has some feather shredding going on too. (Sorry for the poor quality picture, but you can see what I mean.)
So maybe there is some lavender in her...? But JGs don't come in lavender. Thus I turn to the collective BYC brain trust to decipher what she might have in her lineage. Any ideas?
