Chicken newbie here. Bought 5 pallets at TSC in spring and 3 were Roo's. I then bought this pullet from a Facebook chicken group in Maine. Name is Smokie, not sure if it's gender. Feather footed, sweet personality, non aggressive but super timid. Low chicken on the pecking order. Smokie is about 20 weeks old, not laying yet, also not crowing. Sorry about the sun spots. Any ideas on breed and gender?

She's definitely a pullet, and I'm guessing an olive egger. She's probably a Marans crossed with an Ameraucana or Easter Egger, because she's got feathered feet and a beard. She's very cute!
 
@HorseGirlAbby thanks, yes she is a cutie. She is quite broad across the back compared to the other two pullets and she has a super long neck. Was worried she may be a roo. The others started laying last week, may e this week will be her week.
 
With the single comb, and feathered legs- I'd guess a salmon faverolle mix. Plus they're super mellow and can end up at the bottom of the pecking order in a mixed flock.

Should have a super engaging, sweet temperament!
