Lavender/Buff mottled hen, what is she?

[Radhanuga]

The pics do not do her justice. She is beautiful lavender and buff, the lavender being very blue in the day light. She looks mottled/spotted, she's a year old, 5 toes, white ears, grey blue feet. Hasn't laid an egg yet, we just got her 3 days ago.

Looks like a mixed breed to me, since she doesn't fit any breed/variety that I know of. Pretty hen!

My first guess would be silkie cross as they are very common, but looking at her, she could also be a dorking cross. She has the shape/type of a dorking and no crest as is usually present in first generation silkie crosses. Most of the 5-toed ;birds are crested accept for the dorkings. The color however is more common in silkies and is usually called "porcelain." My best guess would be a 2nd generation silkie cross because of the lack of crest and heavier type, but has retained the dark legs, 5 toes and porcelain color. She is an absolutely beautiful bird.

I agree.

I would say that's a good, logical, educated guess, and you're right, she is a stunning bird.
