I bought her as a mixed breed last week. She is broody but not moody when we handle her. She is at least 2 years old and has been raised with a flock of 7 Rhode Island Red hens that are a year old. None of the hens seem to have had much interaction with their previous owners, as they are very anti-social with us. What we bought was a coop and fenced run, and the hens were included in the sale. Her legs are gray/slate and her comb is small. We thought she might be a Hamburg mix but she doesn't display any of the "typical" Hamburg traits such as being flighty and non-broody. We were told that she lays small white eggs but that is all we know about her. She has a very calm personality and she quickly became one of our favorite hens. Any ideas what breed or breeds she might be? Thanks!

 
Thanks for the replies. It doesn't matter what breed she is, but I thought it would be fun trying to figure it out. She doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. We have fake eggs (porcelain, but they look and feel real), and she looks forward to getting back on the egg in her nest box when we force her out to eat and drink.
