Brown chicken help!

[raydraws12]

This brown chicken was dumped at a place I help at and I asked the employees there if this was a rooster or hen as I couldn’t tell… One employee said maybe rooster while another said hen… We have no idea what kind of chicken the lil fella is either. A lot of roosters are dumped here on a regular basis but rarely hens, though it has happened before. The employees do take care of the roosters but management does not want hens here but the only girl who would know for sure moved away and no one can reach her! Please help us identify this guy/girl!

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like a male, for breed I think he's a mix.

My guess is a Buff Orpington Male

Thank you! I’ll try to get a better picture soon as well.

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

Looks like a young cockerel to me.. though it's kinda hard to see the saddle. Legs look a bit yellow for Orpington which was also my first thought to breed.. I would venture a guess at hybrid/mix.

Starting as early as 12 weeks is when gender specific saddle feathers are coming (on non hen feathered breeds) and usually more distinct by 16 weeks... images from google for reference..

Actually, I think he could be a Buff Rock.

I’m curious what sort of place you work at? There’s a garbage dump local to me that has this same problem with roosters being dumped.

It’s a southern country styled restaurant
