What breed is my hen?

[Minky]

She just started laying this week. Ive included a couple of pictures of her, and then one of her egg. Hers is the darker one, the two rounded ones are from my Barnevelder and the big oval shape from my Buff Orpington. This is her second egg, first was similar but slightly smaller.

Thoughts?
Thanks!!!!

She looks exactly like my blue splash marans.

perfect, that is what i was hoping for!!
How is that for egg colour? Its a nice dark brownish orange tan colour... but not quite as dark as I thought it should be. Will it get darker?? What # would you say it is?

What color is her skin?

 

[DwayneNLiz]

marans have feathered legs

Splash Jersey Giant maybe, or a mixed breed. Not a Marans.

 

[DwayneNLiz]

my best guess is a splash orpington

Not a maran, She would have feathered legs if so, Not a Jersey Giant, Her legs are the wrong color, They would be slate. I would say splash Orpington but I believe the leg color is still wrong.. She could possible be a mix?

I will look at her skin colour. She has the wrong comb for an orpington, no?

No, She has the right comb type for an orpington, Just not the right leg color for a Splash orpington..
