Hello!
I'm pretty sure our hen, Potato, is a mix breed, but I still want to get it confirmed. She doesn't look like any breeds that I know of, and she has some strange characteristics that don't point me in any direction of a specific breed's genetics having been mixed in there. If she is a mix breed or a hybrid, which breed's genetics could she possibly have?
Also, if anyone could tell me which colors she has, that would be great! I am guessing some kind of buff/wheaten/white mix.
Here are some things about Potato:
(She is in molt in the pictures. That's why she is missing some of her feathers.)

Here are some things about Potato:
- We got her from a backyard breeder, which heavily makes me believe she is a mix of a lot of breeds.
- Potato is one year old.
- She lays light blue eggs, which is something that has been confusing me, since she looks nothing like any blue-layers I know of. We are pretty much sure that she is the one that is laying the light blue eggs, as we narrowed down who the eggs could be from.
- Her temperament is flighty. She does not like to be anywhere near humans, but she will walk up to me when I am taking pictures of her.
- She has a big, floppy comb, and big waddles, which are both bright red.
- She has white earlobes.
- Potato's body is skinny.
- Her legs are a tan color.
- She has gold-brown eyes.
