This hen was given to me, but I don't know what it is. Can anybody tell ?

An Oriental Game of some sort. She's either molting, very young, or been pecked a lot. She could be an Asil, or Thai, or even some sort of cross - The comb doesn't quite look pure pea comb.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also puzzled by the comb tipe. I just can't tell if the comb is just like that naturaly or if is been dubbed in that fashion.
 
If I had to guess, she was dubbed, it looks as if her wattles were cleaned too. Pretty Gal

No, pretty sure she hasn't been dubbed. I think it's just an odd pea comb or incomplete pea comb. I've got a Shamo hen with a comb that, at the tip, sinks inward.
 
Thank you all for the input

Yeah I have a hen with a comb thats similar she looks more like she has antannae and it's natural, no idea what breed as I have never found out what mine is, If she is laying are her eggs blue ? (properly all the way through the shell blue, not just a blue coating that can be scratched off) as thats what my hen lays. She is certainly a beauty whatever she is!
 
Asil or cross would be my guess also. You might want to breed her with your very good looking Pumpkin in your photo and see what result you get.
 
wow never seen anything like it, looks like it has a turkey head.. Sorry I cannot help...
