What breed is this hen?

[Areyoucluckingme]

I am sorry the pics aren't good, she is my most standoff-ish hen. I was told she is australorp and at the time I didn't know any better, but now I don't think she is. She is very large, black and hairy feet. Lays brownish pink eggs. Ideas?

Maran mix?

Where did you get her?

If she's from a backyard rather than a feed store or hatchery she's probably a mix.

Does she have white skin or yellow skin (look at the soles of her feet)?

I got her from a friend. I have had her for years actually. Her feet are black.

Underneath?

She's probably a mixed breed. Maybe with some Australorp, maybe with some Cochin.

If her eggs are pinkish rather than darker she's probably not part Marans.
