Any idea what breed is she ?

her breed is a steele egger :)
Steele Eggers are cited on Meyer Hatchery as being either blue or splash. The bird pictured is neither of those varieties, looks to have silver ancestry 🙂 When breeding BBS birds, those are the only colors that occur, no black and silver birds. Here is an example of a Blue Steele Egger from Meyer hatchery. I personally am very doubtful that it is one

Black birds can come from blue x blue matings, but a bird with that much pattern won’t come from solid colored parents.
