Hi. Had this stray show up last year and looking to find out what she is. Looking at pictures I’m thinking maybe OEGB or a mix, but not sure.

Behavior: Very friendly and very vocal. Frequently broody (sitting on eggs she laid on my porch right now). Flies well and has out-maneuvered all the predators around here so far. Runs around with the other chickens, but won’t stay in the coop for more than a few minutes and goes up in a tree under a power company light at sunset.

Pics when she first showed up:

Eggs: The smaller cream to tan ones next to Barred Rock, Amberlink, and EE for comparison.

Appreciate any insight y’all might be able to give.
 
Many thanks.

OEGB mix. Very cute.
Are her eggs going to hatch?

These are fertile, so they should if nothing happens. The rooster paid her no attention until recently so this will be her second time being broody with fertilized eggs. The last ones got eaten by something. I’m in the sticks, so predators are plentiful. She’s decided to lay a few feet from my door this time and won’t leave the nest to eat and whatnot unless me or the dog are out there on guard duty
