Any Ideas On The Sex and Breed?

Maybe even the age?

I would guess the age is about 5 weeks. For sex, I'd have to say wait a bit longer for certain, but I'm thinking pullet. As for breed.... give it more time for more feathers. How did you get this little guy?

My family cat caught it somehow and was playing with it like she normally does before killing anything she catches. Thankfully I heard the cries and when I opened the door to go check, the cat ran in with it in her mouth. I had to scruff the cat and she finally dropped it. I've been thinking a pullet ever since I got her...but her behavior has started making me second guess it. Good news is it's name is Peepers, so we're set either way.

5ish weeks looks about right. Crossbred for sure, likely a pullet.

agree - please keep an eye on your cat.

It looks just like a pullet that I have who is an Easter egger from a hatchery. Easter eggers from some hatchery so don't have beards and muffs all the time, and are pretty much just mixed breeds. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she layed blue eggs. And definitely a pullet.
