What breed is this?

I was just wondering what breed this hen is. she is around five months old and is not laying yet. I bought her from a local feed store, and she was only labeled color layer. I am curious about her breed.

Well, she is a coloured layer, in other words, an Easter Egger, in other words, a mix that lays coloured eggs

I’d say it’s a tan brahma. I have two light brahmas who are white and yours looks like them exactly, just tan.

Your brahma have straight combs, a crest, and clean legs?

There some legbar in there some where.

So, what are your guises official guesses on the breed of my hen?

Cross bred with Cream Legbar DNA - commonly called Easter Egger or Olive Egger.

She's a mix, not a purebred. She is just a mix that will lay colored eggs. Nothing more, nothing less.

No, but it just looks like that kind of pattern.

Feather patterns alone have nothing to do with the breed. This hen just happens to have a similar pattern to a light brahma. It's just a combination of color genes that make this particular pattern. She has no other characteristics of a brahma (pea comb, feathered legs, body type, egg color, etc.) therefore there is no way she could be one.

She's a very pretty girl! She definitely looks part Cream Legbar, probably mixed with something that lays brown eggs, since most Legbar crosses are Olive Eggers. Maybe Wheaten Maran? Actually it's more likely Wheaten Ameraucana, since she doesn't have feathered legs. But she also doesn't have puffy cheeks, so scratch that...She's kind of a mystery!

Probably green, maybe olive

Thank you.

I hope so.

If I get a single unique egg I will know it is hers.
