We bought a Buff Orpington and got this??? What is she?

[srodems]

We were calling her Pumpkin. She is an adult hen and has lime-green eyes. We bought her as a chick and she was in with the buff Orps, so I am assuming the gal made the mistake because as a chick she looked like the Orp. She is shocking orange. She is big, dopey and fluffly and we love here, but clearly she is not a buff Orpington. So glad they made the mistake, but would like to know if she is a cross, pure-bred, or what she is.....we fondly call her Muttkin since we think she is a cross.....any information appreciated.......

New Hampshires have a bright reddish/orange appearance. It's very hard to make a guess as to her breed when all we can see is her head. A profile shot might generate a better guess.

Here is a full shot of her. She is a large hen....a lot of fluff but tall with large comb and large waddle.

Thank you sourland you are correct. She looks just like a New Hampshire Hen! We love her....she is very sweet, and a lot of chicken to hug!

She is a beauty and looks very much like a New Hampshire.
