Can you tell me what breed this hen is?

Barnevelder?

At first glance she looks like a Barnevelder, but pattern and color seems a bit off. She might just be poorly bred, or she could be mixed.

I'm thinking Barnevelder...
Where did you get her? What color eggs does she lay?

 

[dadbern]

any guess as to age? I have some hens not producing and I think she is one of them.

 

[dadbern]

I got her from a farmer that was moving, he had 14 girls he needed to part with and I got them all. He did not know the specifics on age though, he did not know much about chickens.

I have on egg that I cannot place to a hen but at least 5 hens I cannot associate an egg to, it is large and very light brown.

You can figure out who's laying and who isn't using this method- https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/who-is-laying-and-who-is-not-butt-check.73309/
