Is my hen a Barnevelder OR Golden Laced Wyandotte?

She was purchased from a lady who was just starting to breed them. She had orpingtons, GLW and barred rocks. I got her as a chick and was told its a orpington as she also had orpingtons. here is a better picture



Having been told that she was an Orpington by the breeder would have been helpful information to share when asking what breed she might be. Did you visit the breeder's facility -I'm asking as it will matter whether the breeds were all penned separately or running as a mixed flock.

Agree with this. The bird could be a gold laced Orpington, but it would be a project bird in the early stages as the type is quite lacking for an Orpington. But the straight comb and white legs fit that breed.

It fits neither Wyandotte, Barnevelder nor Orpington.

I agree either a project Orpington or a mixed oops.

Possibly GLW x Orpington - though she has quite a lot of lacing. She might not be an F1 cross...and it depends on the Orpington's genes as well.
