Can someone please help me identify my chicken?

Thanks @FunClucks ! This is the first time I got chicken with all supposedly pullets. And lo behold, 2 turned out to be roosters and one some mystery chicken. Lol.
That sucks! I'm so sorry. It's kind of luck of the draw sometimes. Even with good vent sexing personnel, odds of successfully IDing pullets are about 90%.
 
Good news though - if it is a meat bird and not a CX, odds are that it will have a healthy, relatively long life. You don't have to eat it, but it probably won't lay very many eggs. I think meat birds generally lay around 150-200 eggs per year or less if you let them lay. CX tend to die within the first year and a half, regardless of how well you care for them, but the slower growing broilers like this Rudd Ranger could probably live a longer, healthier life.

You can always try to rehome it on Craigslist. Someone will be looking for dinner.
That's good to know as I can't eat her after raising her from a baby :jumpy. This will be her forever home regardless of being a meat bird or not.
But really glad to get some answers after hours of investigations with no result lol.
Thanks again @FunClucks :)
