Anyone know the age/ breed/ sex?

Got this chicken after it was found alone with no owner found. That being said I have no background. My current guess is it’s 4-6wks old and is maybe a female brown longhorn.

I think your age guess is right, somewhere around 5 weeks. So far she looks female. If the breast feathers remain salmon-colored rather than going more black then it is certainly a girl.

As to breed, she could be a Brown Leghorn or Welsummer, or perhaps an Easter Egger. Leghorns have large floppy combs and white earlobes, and they lay a white egg. Welsummer combs aren’t floppy, they have red earlobes and lay a dark brown or speckled egg. EEs lay a blue or green egg, and are hybrids so they have a lot of variation in appearance. You won’t likely know until she lays for you.

Please update when she gets older and let us know what she turned out to be :)
