Breed help (probably a bantam of some kind)?

Scrapping my old theory.

Seeing the legs better makes me think a Modern Game Bantam mix.

Same.

In that pic she's standing upright like a really chonky modern game.

She is TINY.

She is tiny! I was almost concerned when I saw her eggs - they are literally bigger than her head. In reply to your other question - yes, almost daily. Which I thought odd for a game bantam, so maybe you're right about the dutch?

It's a possibility. Now that we see her standing, she also looks to have some Modern Game in her lineage as well.

Look up pics of Birchen Modern Game Hens.

i dont mean to jump on your post but i cant figure out what one of my girls is. she lays this egg, she is white and pretty good sized too. if anyone has any idea i would appreciate it so much

What breed is she?
My golden comets and blue Plymouth Rock sometimes lay like that

I live on a 20-mile long island in the middle of nowhere, so I think (or would hope) any chicken breeders on island with such a rare, imported breed would do better then shove it in a tiny cage with a too-small ring around its leg... and no hawks here. So I don't think she's anything too fancy.
Here's a photograph of her standing, so you can better see her size relative to the bantam rooster.

Hey! I figured out what kind or chicken she is ... "Yours!"
From the sound of her original home, she definitely sounds like a mix - and if the former owners kept birds that were "interesting," like many people do, there's probably a Silkie (or some other type of tinted lobe bird) in her woodpile, somewhere. That would account for the blue earlobes. My sister has a few hens like that. We call them "BOE" Best-Of-Everythings!

The first one is a Game Hen.

I agree

Genuinely think I will keep her and lie to the old owner... they had so many chickens cramped in that pen, doubt they'd even notice
She's such a sweetheart, obviously has never been handled but still very friendly and curious.
I think you're right; a quick Google search of birchen modern game yielded the below hen, which looks very similar.

Honestly doubt they'd even care.

She's a cute girl. ❤

Damn right she is :')
Yeah, there were a lot of "interesting" birds in the coop. I didn't see any silkies, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had but they'd just been shoved into a corner somewhere, or had died... Thanks for the elucidation! She's a very special game bantam indeed
