What Breed is My New Hen?

Agree, it is probably a Buff Orpington mix. It is showing some Columbian feather pattern in the hackles and tail so perhaps some Light Sussex in her too. Definitely not a New Hampshire. The photos of her feet are not overly clear but it looks like she might have a touch of scaly leg mites.... I was looking to see if she was clean legged and noticed they look a bit rough.
We treated her with ivermectin andd she had splayed legs when she was little. Her legs have always been like that and none of the other hens had gotten it. He brother also had legs like that.
