I had this hen for about 3 years now.
I was given her as a chick.
She is large and the dominant hen in the flock.
Rather bossy, but quiet and I would consider her human neutral. She is not afraid of me but keeps a few feet of a distance.

She's a mix.
 
Thank you.
I looked up a Splash Marsh and she does have a very strong resemblance. I am just curious because she did go broody every year and when there are chicks, I like to figure out who the parents were.
Shes probably mixed with something else but looks a lot like a splash maran. Do you know what color egg she lays? If it's dark brown then that even further proves Maran.
 
I am pretty sure her eggs are very light brown.
I cannot be 100% certain as I get a dark brown egg from that coop, but I also have 2 Mars-Bars living and laying there and those are a Maran hybrid.
