What breed is this hen?

[juliechick]

I would call her a hatchery quality rose-combed brown leghorn. Do they come bantam sized?

They do, but she isn't a Brown Leghorn. She looks like a mixed breed.

I have no idea if she's a mixed breed, she came from Ideal hatchery. They claim their chickens are purebreds. I actually have two of these hens the same color. I had a third, she was black, but I sold her.

She is a very poorly colored Gold Spangled Hamburg. With hatchery birds you can expect this. She is very pretty even if not the standard color for the breed.

I thought she might be a Hamburg. Once it was determined my other hen was a splash Hamburg, I could see some resemblance between the two. Thanks!
