What Breed Is This Hen? I Think She Belongs To Someone On BYC

Saw this picture on here I think and I'm in love with this hen. What breed is she?

Without knowing leg color, feathered/non-feathered legs, number of toes breed cannot be determined.

Looks like a mixed breed hen.

Looks like a Buff Orp/Splash Marans cross to me.

Yeah. She looks like a Buff Orpington and something else. But the other breed in her is much harder for me to identify

She does belong to a user here although I can't recall what thread she was in. She is an Orpington. And she's really, really big. She weighs more than the Orpington rooster she's in with. @Faraday40 might recall who she belongs to...

Maybe a meat breed? Brahma are also notorious for being big.

She's not my hen, but could be an Orpington. (right type of face) A hen from imported English bloodlines can get to be 10lbs (males are larger), and they can go broody. Although they can cover a lot of eggs & chicks, my BIG broodys can also be clumsy & occasionally break an egg or squish a chick. I just love their round basketball shape. They have loose, fluffy feathers which also makes them appear larger.

WhoA! She looks very fluffy! Very gorgeous. Now I'm tempted to get one myself

Your hens/Jewel are too cute. They're massive I love the round shape as well. That's why I got some cochin bantams. The photos make them look like little cantaloupes. Can't wait to see them in real life.
