In the last pic I see a partial beard/muffs I think.
That is what I am thinking too: small muffs on the sides of the face.

If she originally came from a hatchery, she might be an Easter Egger.
Otherwise, she's probably a backyard mix of some sort (maybe Buff Orpington x something with muff/beard.)

Since she is a rescue, we will probably never know whether she came from a hatchery or whether she is a backyard mix.

When she lays an egg:
If it is green or blue, she is definitely an Easter Egger (because an Easter Egger is any chicken that lays blue or green eggs and does not belong to a specific pure breed.)

If she lays brown or white eggs, she is probably a backyard mix of some sort (brown eggs are much more likely than white from a mixed-breed hen with that general body shape.)
