What breed is the product of my lack of self control?

Her chest is sort of an orangish color and her legs are grey.
 
Does she look like a breeder or hatchery bird? The feedstore owner claims a "breeder" regularly dumps birds off at his store. His has a row of cages full of all different breeds. Buff Orpingtons, Buttercups, Silkies, etc. Most are Roos though.
 
Could she be an Old English Game Bantam? I bought a chicken book today and they have pic of a little hen that looks just like her.
 
Here are my OEGH.


She is molting so no tail


Tail is down but in the shadows. LOL

I never had Phoenix hens but they do look similar. Maybe yours is a mix. I have 4 OEGH and 3 look distinctly different. as the first 2 are like twins and I cant tell them apart.

I don't have pure breed so that is why..

Did yours grow up together? I can't get mine to coexist peacefully with any bird I own!
