Mystery Breed from the Animal Shelter

[omga747]

Hi,

I got this hen as a pullet from the local animal shelter. Within a month or so, her comb and wattles grew and got red, and she started laying! She's now the biggest member of my flock at about 6.5 lb. Even though she's pretty orange-colored all over, all the feathers have a gray base. Here's what she looks like today. So the mystery remains, what breed is she? Thanks!

I cant say for sure what breed, what color eggs? She is beautiful

She looks like a mixed breed between different egg production birds, but don't hold me to that because there are several production breeds that often have leakage in their color like yours.

She is beautiful! And she lays brown eggs almost indistinguishable from our RIR and black australorp.

She might have New Hampshire somewhere in her genetics, or Red Star.

Perhaps a New Hampshire Red. Pretty bird.
