Golden Buff hen with full lacing - what breed?

[ms_aeb]

Breed ID help, please! I hatched this hen from what I believe to be Brahma stock. Some of the hens in the hatch group are dark Brahma (pic). Any ideas what breed the buff hen is? I would LOVE SO MUCH to recreate her coloration and temperament / personality for an entire flock. She’s my favorite, of course.

same hatch source

Her skin looks white, am I seeing that correctly?

If so she is a brahma mix.

Buff Brahma rooster x Dark Brahma hen = Sexlinked chicks, gold laced females and silver males with some leakage
I think she is this cross.

What a lovely thing she is!

And I don't even care for buff coloration.

That makes a lot of sense! I'd probably say this as well.

This dude could even be her brother - with those messy, brassy hackles he isn’t a pure color.

The one spot I looked at her skin was a very light color - pale pink or white. Any brainstorming ideas on the breed she might be crossed with? She has the right comb, body shape, leg feathers, etc for Brahma.

She could still be pure (a mix of colors, certainly not an official color), I was just mentioning skin color as Brahmas should have yellow skin. Although she has no features of any other breed from what I can tell.

Ohhh, that would be a stroke of luck since I have a few dark Brahma hens and could hopefully hatch some laced chicks. Thank you for the idea!
