Looks like you might have a mute. Combination of mutation and mutt. These birds are usually the best of all worlds unless you get a flighty one. They normally are sterile if they are cocks, fantastic if they are hens and almost always give you the same girls. Watch and see if she takes all the eggs and sits on them. If she does, she will be very docile, very aggresive at the sight of laying mash (yes, they can tell) and slightly under weight. All of these are signs of an excellent layer and a hen that will produce live chicks for 5+ years and edible eggs for at least 5 yrs. As with all chickens, I do not advise eating anything less than hard boiled if your bird is over 4 yrs. old. If she turns out to be flighty, try and maintain as long as possible and collect eggs for incubation(if you have one), these are prized by all neighbors who love or know a mother hen

Forgot to note: all hens with high yellow-orange legs are usually dark brown, early, large volume medium to large eggers

She is a spangled colored game of some sort.. American game bantam or Old English game bantam looking at her size and the size of the waterer..
She should lay a lightly tinted to a white egg...

My first guess is a speckled OEG or American game. She's not a bantam OEGB, but if she is a bantam, my guess would be dutch with those white earlobes of hers.

She looks to have a pea comb. With that being said, she is a spangled game hen (possible cross).

this is wierd but it looks like a mix between an ancona and a japanese bantam
