Any ideas on breed of Hen??

[griffin3]

Hey all. We were told this was an orpington but she doesn't seem to look like any others i have seen. She is blue with red through her neck and huge black feet with white nails. She lays everyday and is a very talkative gal. Thanks for any help.

Yeah they also lay dark brown eggs but hers are light brown, shes a mystery chook!

She looks like a cross australorp to me.

She looks like a mix, maybe someone was playing with a blue copper orpington project? I can see some Orp in her, but the tail/back end is wrong. I'll bet someone had a project going and culled her for whatever reason. Or she could have just been a happy accident. She's quite pretty.

She came from a guy who was trying to cross big chooks with hi laying chooks, he had a couple of hundred so i guess she could be bit of anything.
