What breed is this?!

[Nafalie]

Hi my dearest chicken community,

My good friend is moving away and gifted me his best laying hen. He had no ideas as to her breed.

Can anyone help? She’s HUGE, much bigger than my RIR and a bit bigger than my Dominique girls.

Thank you for any and all feedback!

That's a mix bred. The breeds to make it I am not sure. But whatever it is that's a nice bird.

Yah, but too much lacing around the body to be pure bred.

BSL arent pure...

BSL arent pure?

No, BSL are a cross between reds and barred rocks. That's why they're so variable in appearance.

Yeah I know... I thought you thought they were pure
