but thats all I know about her!

Hi Serenity06, they both came from a farm in the middle of knowhere here in Somerset

They spend a lot of time in the greenhouse next to their coop - I cut a panel on the greenhouse out so they have free access, and it makes a nice fun house for them lol!!

Now that I've seen how pretty they are, I have to have one!

Probably a Golden Cuckoo Marans.

She is a lovely bird but I don't think she is a golden cuckoo marans. They shouldn't be gold all over. This page has pictures:http://www.maransofamericaclub.com/golden-cuckoo-marans.html of what they should look like

What color eggs does she lay?

From her comb, I'm thinking it's likely she's a mixed breed. Body shape looks Orpington-ish, she could be a mix of cuckoo or barred and buff Orp. It's a very pretty color, regardless. Much better contrast than most of the lemon cuckoo Orps I see online.
