Breed of this sweet hen?

[Liz Birdlover]

So I rescued Chanel 2 yrs ago, not even sure of her age. She was an excellent mama, sitting & brooding other hen's eggs this past spring.

I wonder what breed or mix she may be. I was guessing maybe a Delaware & Buff Orpington mix?

She is looking a bit peaky right now, pale comb, hope it's just due to molting, her feathers are looking better than last week for sure.

She has very pretty markings, a couple of stray feathers on top of feet, and larger sturdier looking feet in general, as compared to my Buff Orpingtons.
I had a White Rock hen that had big, thick "cartoon feet" once LOL.

She lays tan eggs.

What do you think?

Thanks, I never thought Brahma, but those big feet! I love her, I don't know how anyone could be abusive to a chicken. I'm so glad I got her. She is a lovebug.

Great job rescuing her. It sounds like she's rewarded you. Pretty hen!

Buff Brahma x Delaware mix.

She can’t be a Brahma x Delaware. Both those breeds have orange legs, while she has pink legs. Pink legs is a dominant gene, so two orange leg parents can’t produce offspring with pink legs.

She looks like an Orpington mix or a sussex mix to me.

She does resemble a pale Buff Orpington hen that I have, in fact they are buddies, but I don't know where she came from, possibly from mixed breed parents. Feet are pink flesh tone.

Buff Brahma x Light Sussex then.
