Need help identify this hen...

This is my thought. Too heavy to be a leghorn. OP responding with egg color will really help.

A Hatchery Welsummer. She looks just like mine.

I'm also curious about what color eggs she lays. If she is a Welsummer, then she is not pure. Look at those Blue legs, I think the more proper terminology would be slate. I think she is possibly a mix of some sort. She does look to be colored like a red partridge (I think that is the correct name for the color) or maybe it's light brown (I think it depends some on what breed), but there are other breeds that come in that color.
I'm going to go with that she is a pretty mix.

I agree with the others- she has the welsummer plumage color but the legs are all wrong. Both of the parents were black breasted red- the father carried the sex linked dermal melanin gene meaning he most likely had blue or green legs also.

The mother could have been a welsummer and that would make the father a black- breasted red with white skin and blue legs. Her body confirmation does not look like a game bird.

I would go with single combed easter egger.

Those are some expensive eggs.

I think it's a poor quality Wellsummer. It's common in hatcheries to have a messed up leg color. Come back OP and tell us what color eggs she lays! Maybe she's just a mix.

Looks just like my hatchery Penedesencas.

Out of 10(7 roos) only one has blue legs(at least it was a girl), which they are supposed to have. It looks like mine were crossed with Welsummers because some had red earlobes and some didn't have carnation combs. One girl also lays speckled eggs.

How sweet are those dark eggs? Well, money well spent I say. I think it looks like a hatchery Welsummer. The neck feathers look like a brown leghorn but that is what the breeds share in common. Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow after seeing those good looking eggs.

She's a Welsummer.
