She is from a friend of mine, who doesn't remember. She's smaller than my buff Orpington, and has a bit of black in her tail feathers but other wise looks pretty much the same to me. My Orpington lays large light brown eggs, whereas she lays smaller medium brown eggs of a darker color, but not as dark as my Cochin's eggs. This is the best picture I've got as she is still wary of me and wont let me get too close.

Buff Orpington. Orpingtons come in somewhat varying sizes based off of how much of the older English bloodlines they have. I have some that are so big that the farmer down the road confused them with turkeys and I have some that are the same size as my welsummer and Sussex. The black feathering is also very common with buffs.
 
Definitely just another buff girly! There's always a little variation in hatchery-quality breeds.
