Help identify this hen's breed?

OP's girl's butt looks like a buff Brahman hen. Maybe that and marans? How would those genetics work? Could you get a bird like that? Maybe if you did it as a project? Or accidentally just kept breeding from your own stock?


I was given her. A young woman going away to university asked me to take her five hens and her rooster. Never had chickens before. Surprised my husband. Didn't think to ask the young woman about breed at the time, so I've always wondered. The only one I was sure about was the Dorking, because her name was Dorking! Ha!
 
Thank you everyone for the suggestions on her breed. Appreciate the ideas. Probably very mixed. Can't see it in the picture but she had the cutest pale yellow petticoats out back!

Love Butter's picture! Very effective I'm sure. I would not touch those eggs for all the tea in China!
