What breed is this hen, can you help?

[LuckyMotherhen]

I don't know the breed of my hen she's about 5yrs old, can anyone help?

She's probably a mixed breed, with a red or buff chicken as at least one parent. She looks a bit like a production Rhode Island red, but her legs are slate colored, indicating a mix. Pure reds have yellow legs.

Would she be a good broody?

Hmm head looks like RIR, body looks like BO legs are yelling out, “I’m mixed!”

Would she be a good broody?

That's difficult to say. Breed plays a part in broodiness, but so does the individual bird's temperament and personality. If you've had her a long time and she hasn't gone broody yet, then she probably won't.

RIR x BO was my first guess as well... those legs are throwing me off a bit, though... they look like Easter egger legs

Where did you get her? What color eggs does she lay? Could you get a picture of her that isn't blurred?

Mixed breed. Her coloration appears to be Wheaten....simply beautiful.

She's so beautiful, if a bit shy but she isn't mean so that's something!
I got her from a farmer's market and she lays cream/tan.
