A friend gived me this pullet but i don't what breed is my friend says its a new hampshire mix did he has right, or is another breed?

How big is she? With her dark legs and feathered shanks, I suspect a silkie cross. Do you know what color eggs she lays? Could be an Easter Egger or Olive Egger.

She sure could have New Hampshire blood, and she's definitely a mix, so sounds like your friend was right.

Feather color is similar to New Hampshire Red yes. But she is not a pure New Hampshire by no means. Trying to determine the breeds she is a mix of is nearly impossible. Some dominant traits can point to certain breeds, but color isn't usually one of them.

thanks for your oppinion, what approximately i will get if i mix it with a new hampshire rooster what the offsprings will look like?

Mostly red. Looks like she's got feathered legs, so some chicks will have lightly feathered legs. Leg color will be a crap shoot, with her dark and the rooster's yellow. I can't tell what type of comb she has, but if it's straight, the chicks will be also.
