what is this old chickens breed?

[dean26]

Hello to everyone, Im Dean and live in the UK I came across this sad looking chicken at my local farm today, she is very old and blind. Does anyone know her breed for sure, also what colour would she be? She was being kept with 3 muscovies in an aviary for some reason, away from the other chickens, probably due to her age. If anyone reading this knows duck breeds, please check out my other post as im trying to figure out what breed some ducks are also at my local farm! many thanks. Dean

RIRs don't have beards. She looks to me like some sort of mix.

Its defintely not a rhode island red, Im no chicken expert but I have been reading up and Im pretty sure she is an araucana, they come in many different colours. If anyone can positively I.D her i would appreciate it

the araucana was my first thought too, but she has feathered legs which if I remember right the European style does not have
