BREED, GENDER, AGE!?

[WildCHILD400]

Please help identify breed age and gender! I think it is about 1 or 2 months old, came from auction hoping its a she!

Thats more than a month old. I say pullet. Maybe 8 weeks

Ok so im begining to think its about 2 months old. So it cam from an auction and brought to a barn with about 20 other chickens and put in a stall together. I picked it up yesterday thinking its a hen to add to my backyard flock. Its really sweet but it hasn't really toutched its food or water. What can I do bc its been about 80 here. Its comb and waddle are also pale. Please help!

I hope you have it quarantined.
Really pale and not eating is not good.
Have you checked for external parasites?

I'd start with a dose of Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins.
Can mix up a smaller amount, just wrap the packet tight and store in a dry cool place. Always have plain water available too.

Combs pretty small, so I'd say female....probably a Marans mix.

Looks like a black copper marans. If it's a month old than probably a rooster.

Black copper marans. Agree older than a month. Looks like pullet.

I would guess a pullet. I would also guess black copper marans. However, now I'm thrown by the red should leakage others are mentioning.

Pretty.

Probably 4-6 weeks. Most likely a black copper Marans cockerel. The red leakage coming through in the shoulder and wings already indicates male.

I'm not experienced yet with breeds, but I'm saying pullet more than likely and probably 2-3 months.

Any chance it could be one of Hoovers Hatchery’s Midnight Majesty Marans? They can have brown down and possible leakage:

The waddles look way too pink for that size to be a cockerel. I’m thinking pullet.
