Any chance this is not a rooster?

Game hen, or Game Bird is a classification of breeds, like Orpingtons and Sussex are in the English class. Breeds of this type are Old English, Modern, and several oriental breeds.
That bird looks to be a Black Breasted Red pullet. I'm not sure of her exact breed though, the game-types all look the same to me.

I think you are spot on! Found another similar thread and birds look identical. Thanks for the hint! I'm still a bit lost with difference between "black breasted red" and "game" but I think I get what you are saying. Will do more reading. I can't find "black breasted red" in the list of breeds in this site. But I found Red-Breasted Rosecomb Bantam which also look similar. Still a bit confusing for me, but I think the picture begins to emerge. Thanks!

Oh no! I hope she gets better soon!
BTW, one of my other chickens is Easter Egger and she is different - calmer, less jumpy/flighty. She has fluffy feathers behind her eyes and she has always been very motherly - other hens since the beginning were coming to her to get comforted. She is the kindest thing I've seen! The new bird is looks different (very big tail, etc.).
