What breed is this?

[eXoMajorPain]

Hello everyone!
I'm a new member and I'm new to chickens. I recently bought a house and the previous home owner left us his chickens. I have discovered some of the breeds myself but I need some help. Thank you!!

Does anyone know what breed this one is?

Looks to be a poor quality Delaware hen or maybe a Delaware mix.

Agreed

I would say Delaware. Maybe a Delaware/Leghorn cross? The body shape is a little odd.

Thank you! If I could pick your brain a little more... what would make her poor quality? Like I said, I'm new and just curious!

Delaware-esque? Probably just a hatchery quality Delaware.

A Delaware is a heavy-breed, so they should have a more full and heavy appearance in my opinion. Also, she needs a little more black on her tail and cape. Her comb is also big, and her tail isn't full enough. But she's adorable!!

Here is a picture of show quality Delaware. Your bird is probably from a hatchery.
