What breed is this hen?

[Farmher Pembroke]

My hen hatched out eggs that I was told were purebred Buff Orpington—only one egg hatched and this lovely large brown and white hen joined my flock. She looks like a Wyandotte to me, but with heavily feathered legs? Thoughts?

Hard to know for sure, but she looks like a Brahma/Wyandotte cross. She is a striking bird.

Brahma Wyandotte cross maybe?

Brahma Wyandotte cross maybe?

she is definitely a splash red wyandotte mix It could be all sorts of breeds but yeah maybe a brahama but it was probably a mix between a buff or white brahama.
I love Mysteries Lol

Thank you! She’s found her forever home here for sure!

Hi, hope you are enjoying BYC!

Pretty barnyard cross... definitely NOT a pure breed Orp.

Even if you are okay with the outcome... I would let the seller (or giver) know they are peddling something else and not what they claim.

white brahama.

Probably not white... according to what LITTLE genetics I understand.

Always fun to play the guessing game!

I knew as soon as she started to feather that she wasn’t BO. The guy got out of chickens, so I don’t think there’s much to be done. She’s a nice addition to my flock though, and a great layer, so I’m not too upset
