What kind of hen do you think this is?

what kind of chicken do u think my granny is? ppl on here have told me some kind of mix game fowl, but she's laying at least 6 eggs per week, sometimes 8 days straight. and the research i've done.. game fowl don't lay that good. just curious. She's not the prettiest chicken, she's had it rough I think. We got her in April, along with ten chicks she was even missin' an eye when we got her. thanks in advance

Game mixes can lay just as well as a production-type breed. It's called hybrid vigor.

really? I did not know that. When I researched it online, everything said poor layers. Thank you. I will have to look that up. (hybrid vigor)

It's the reason why sexlinks are so productive.

poor girl, one eye out - bet they used her for stuff that can't be mentioned here. So glad you have her now.
