Is this a Speckled Sussex or a Jubilee Orpington?

Hi.
So, this is Abigail, my chicken. I think she is a Speckled Sussex or a Jubilee Orpington. Can someone please help identify her breed?
Thank you.

I think Jubilee Orpingtons are bigger and fluffier with a more rounded tail. Your girl looks a lot like the Speckled Sussex I used to have.

Thank you. She was a free chicken from the hatchery, so we weren't sure.

And yes, the Orpingtons look fluffier.

I concur.

I concur.

She also hates being picked up with her feet dangling and will only perch on your hand. Is that something her breed does or is it because that was the only way I picked her up while she was small?

Well.. Some birds just don't like to be handled.

I figured. She only likes being handled when I feed her or play piano for her.

Yeah, that's most likely it..
