I got a bunch of eggs awhile back and hatched out 30 of them. This hen is my favorite of all then hens. She is 9 months old.
I know she is a mix...but does anybody know what kind of mix she might be?
 
She's got Cochin a generation or two behind her. . . Otherwise, can't say, really. She is indeed pretty!
 
A mutt. She almost has some australorp-type features. But I agree with Illia, I would think cochin is somewhere in there.
 
Thanks again for the comments and inputs. I was asking so that maybe I could mate her with a chicken of a similiar breed. I was hoping to keep some of her unigue coloring in some of her offsprings.

She has the wild-type partridge coloring like many Easter Eggers do. Really you could just use any of the brown red/wheaten colored birds like leghorn or welsummer. I'm partial to those colors myself and they tend to be sex- linked. The boys will be darker with red & black and the girls are suttle like yours.
