Another stray, another breed, but what?

She may not staying if I find the rightful owner, but this ninja of a chicken (keeps getting out of the run) is a bit of a mystery. Does anyone know the breed? She's an almost chocolate brown with white highlights and a fan-shaped tail.

She looks like a red sex link to me!

I did wonder if she could be, although she's a tad darker then ones I've seen before. Very docile, very friendly, but a consummate escape artist! She's painfully thin, which is making me drag my heels a bit over finding her owner.

I have 3 RSL in my mixed flock. Two of them look almost identical with lighter, orangey red feathers but the third one is quite a bit darker (almost reddish). They are some of the friendliest, smartest, most curious birds I have and are always getting into something so I can see how yours could be an escape artist! They aren't as heavily built as say a BR but sturdy and eat like little pigs.

Here are a couple pictures I have, maybe you can see what I mean about the differences in color (all 3 came from the same hatch). The first one shows the 2 lighter colored birds and the second picture shows the darker one.

My Hylines look the same as your RSLs...

The Hylines are on the left and the right.

And the new bird has gone to her proper home. Thank goodness, she was 'doin' my 'ead in' as they say round here.

Glad she found her rightful home!

I think her owners need to keep her in an enclosed run with top. Don't want a wolf pretending to be grandma trying to coax her over.
