Any ideas what she(hopefully) is

From the local feed store, about 6 weeks old. They had Buff Orpingtons, Wyandottes & assorted. I think she'll be pretty regardless. Hasa single comb,so not sure of wyandotte & looks blue/grey in the sun in areas.

She has a single comb and her coloring is a bit off with those white markings, but I have little doubt that she is a hatchery gold laced Wyandotte.

Thanks! Kinda what I thought too. Let's hope she's a good layer at least.

They don't have to be a perfect match to be pretty. She should lay well. Most hatchery birds are bred for egg production.

Think I was just hoping she'd be something other than a Wyandotte. My experience is they're not very predator savvy, but can only get what's available at the feed store.

That's true, but neither are Orpingtons. Flightier breeds are good at avoiding ground predators but not aerial predators. You really can't win on that front.
