Chicken molted and came back with more black...does this change possible breed guesses?

Hi! So it was guessed that I had a game bird or game bird mix of some kind. She is a rescue who came from a hoarding situation. She's about 2.5 years old...slightly bigger than my silkie roo. This is what she looks like now after molting.. Before she was mostly white with way less black. Her comb is normally a tiny bit bigger. She's got the birth control implant due to a tendency for internal laying and the hormones made her comb shrunk a bit.

Well, she's a mix of some kind. Difficult to say what's in her. The short legs and white earlobes don't really say game to me, but who knows? Molting in different colors is pretty common, so that is nothing to worry about.

Yeah her legs definitely are very game-y looking. And okay that's a relief!

Commonly seen in laying hybrids like the Ideal 236.. a Leghorn like substitute *they* may use "unless white only" is ordered.
