Hi! I have had this hen for 2 years now and never knew her breed. The place where I bought her from never told me what breed she is. (Sorry if I'm holding her wrong, she's really fat and heavy.)

I cannot see her completely in this picture, but she is definitely an American Gamefowl breed. To narrow your search, she is one of these: Roundhead, Sweater, Hatch, or Kelso. You say she's really fat, and judging by her color and whiter colored legs, I'd say she's a pure Roundhead or roundhead crossed (mixed) with another American gamefowl. Roundheads, sweaters, and hatch are more common to have that kind of crest. Hatch are usually yellow legged but can have other colored legs, roundheads mostly that colored leg. Hope that helps
