What is this “free rare breed”?

If she looks like our Edith, then she is an Easter Egger. Ours are Whiting’s True Blue, but as someone said earlier, they are some sort of colored egg layer, which is selectively bred to lay blue eggs.

Does she always stand that way with her tail down and her back at such a slope?
Lack of rump, no wattles, small muff, my best guess Araucana.
This bird clearly has a tail and came from a hatchery which makes it not an Araucana.

Look up Araucanas with tails? They exist. Most are rumpless, but they do exist with tails, & no tufts also. :) 😴

Only British tailed araucanas have muffs. Rumpless araucanas have ear tufts.

Tailed araucanas have normal tails, not downturned ones. This EE could have araucana in her background, but is definitely not a purebred one.
