She is a hen. If hatched from a blue/green egg, it is most likely an araucana or ameraucana cross.

1 German Shepherd, 1 Borador, 1 Malitpoo, 1 West Highland Terrier, 1 German Shorthair Pointer puppy, 3 Australorps, 6 Red Sex Links, 1 Black Sex Link, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Tetra Tints (aka: Amber Sex Link) and 9 Easter Eggers.

 

YES, I had to thin my flock out. It went from 57 to 28.  :(

I am in the UK, and I doubt the lady had any ameraucana, but I think you are right! She must be an araucana cross!
