What cross do you reckon this hen is?

She's quite big, gentle.. and rather fluffy!

I think that she have New Hampshire in it.

My hen looks just like her loves people and being part of whatevers going on. She part rhode island red and part orpington.

Looks like a buff orpington cross.

I also had buff orpington and new hampshire red in mind!

I've got two hens that look just like that which have a Production Red sire and a Buff Orpington dame. The tail feathers aren't quite as black on mine, and no black on the wing tips, but otherwise they look the same.

It definitely looks like BO cross. As to why it has black wing tips though, I'm not sure. A New Hampshire or Red should not give it genes for black wing feathers.

I agree on it definitely being part Orpington, but you're right the black wing tips must be from something other than a New Hampshire...
