Help! Need breed and age

[Anhurst29]

So I have the opportunity to bring this chicken into my flock. However I'm unable to tell through pictures what breed she is and also how old she is. I was hoping you lovely chicken experts could help me some! I would of course want her to currently be laying but it's hard for me to tell.

Probably a buff Orpington mix. Age is difficult to determine. My guess is around 2 years.

I agree. Looks like a BO mix around 2-3 years old.

Please make sure you do a proper quarantine if you bring her home.

I don't have the knowledge base (noobie), but what I do have is 3 BO mixes that are about 2and 1/2 years old, and that hen would pass as a sibling!

At what age do they stop laying

At what age do they stop laying

Really depends on the breed and individual, but their best laying is their first season, which this hen is past. They usually lay less eggs each year as they age.

It seems to me that she is Lohmann brown. And i can't prove her age with this picture! Take a picture of her head and legs, I'll tell you exactly how old she is!
Don't take pictures of chickens "from the plane", get closer to the animal, take a picture of it from the profile and from the side, so that it can be clearly seen!

Will do as soon as I can. I'm currently out of town and was sent this picture via text
