Is this the correct breed please

Hi all recently I bought an Orpington X Sussex 10 weeks old but notice she has green legs he had a variety of birds I think I may have araucana X what do you all think also my silky hens hated her till today but accepted a 10 week leghorn

what type of comb does it have? An orpington x Sussex would have white legs and single comb. Araucana have pea combs, but I doubt he had those as crosses. Aracuana are very expensive to get your hands on (I paid $35 for a cockerel and $40 for my pullets). More likely he had ameraucana, which are slightly more common and slightly cheaper. That said, I think this may be an easter egger. A cross with an ameraucana parent would be very likely to have muffs and a beard, which this bird doesn't have.

If it has green legs then it has something other than Orpington and Sussex in it.

He had all sorts running around his backyard even thought free range meant don't have to feed
