I was given this large standard hen from a mixed flock. Can anyone tell me what breed(s) she is? She's blue, single comb, lightly feathered yellow legs, clean feet. She lays a large size medium brown egg. Thanks
What breed is this hen?

She looks like a mix but could be a mix between a blue andalusian
This hen is a blue Jersey giant she could be that since you said she lays medium brown eggs.

I think Andalusians are more upright and slim and Jersey Giants bigger. I'm leaning toward Blue Orpington x. She's got the boxy body of an Orpington.

She does maybe a lavender orpington mix?

Boom Chicka Pop - I think she's too grey to be a lavender, she's definitely blue. She's got lightly feathered feet so I think she's a Blue Cochin x (not so fluffy and not such feathered feet).
She's Blue not Self Blue ["Lavender"], if she was Self Blue she would not have lacing.
@skullgrrrl
Are you outside the U.S.? If so she could be a hybrid layer called a Bluebell. Bluebells are a Blue Marans x Rhode Island Red cross and lay a good many "pinkish brown" to brown eggs.

With those yellow legs, there is no Andalusian, Orpington, or Marans in her. Probably a Cochin mix.I was given this large standard hen from a mixed flock. Can anyone tell me what breed(s) she is?

I'm in Canada on the Pacific Coast.
She is a mixed breed, probably part Cochin.
