Easter Eggers or Buff Orpingtons?

Anyone else have an idea of the breed?? Cant fond the breed anywhere. Please help.

That looks like a gorgeous cross-bred. She really is a nice looking hen.

She is a mix but what a mix! Pretty hen. Is she laying yet? What color eggs?

I'm a little late to this thread, but thought I would give my two cents worth.
My wife and I had intended on Speckled Sussex as well, but just like you were unable to find a source for pullets. We went with three Buff Orpingtons. Our experience has only been positive. The personality of the birds has been very quiet and friendly. We have two that began laying around twenty weeks. The third hen, Henrietta, is a holdout at 25 weeks with still no egg, although she finally has begun the submissive squat so our fingers are crossed! The girls are very quiet with one another. No squabbles.
If you have yet to choose between an Easter Egger and a Buff Orpington, my money would be on the Orpington.
