What breed is she

[chicken95]

Hi this young lady came with a flock of 2 barred rocks, 2 light Sussex and a black rock today.

She is definitely a pullet about 16 weeks old but what breed ? She’s got 1or 2 black tail feathers but she is predominantly silvery white not pure white like the sussex’s. She has very white legs also

Any ideas on breeds? I was thinking leghorn cross light Sussex or Americana mix ?

Looks like a lavender Orpington. I see a single comb I think and white fleshy legs. If she is a lavender opr lucky you they aren’t the easiest to come by and she’s beautiful!

Crossbred for sure. Nailing down the exact mix is nearly impossible. She sure is pretty.

She is beautiful, and a mix does look more accurate. Do you think she could be part orp?

Its possible. Lavender Orpingtons "American type" are fairly common now. So its very well possible she could have Orpington in her.

Well she was sold as a light Sussex but I really don’t think she is... she’s like a silvery lavender colour! Hopefully she’s an Orpington!

She's absolutely not a Light Sussex. But she could have Light Sussex in her.

Shes definitely not a light Sussex, as @Gray Farms said she looks like a lavender mix.

So are we going with Orpington X Light Sussex?

I wouldn’t say that’s what she is but I think she might have lavender Orpington in her. I don’t know about the other half.
