Can you identify this chicken please?!

[Hillypen]

Hi there can anyone please tell me what breed is my chicken? Found wandering in nearby town, so I’ve rescued it but have no idea what s/he is!!!! Growing fast, but still much smaller than my other hens, makes constant ‘peeping’ sound, runs back and forth in pen...any suggestions most welcome thanks.

'Peeping' sounds?! She's still a very young chicken so it is hard to tell...

With that coloring, I’d suspect a barnyard mix. With that amount of comb and wattles, could possibly be male.

I also see a male male there. I have no idea on breed.

Eeeek!!! That could be interesting...thank you all for responding I’m new to this group, but really love the sense of community

Likely a mix.
He's a cockerel - and not very old. Perhaps 14-ish weeks.

Ah, If he was older he would likely stand up to them.
Isolate him and try to reintroduce him at regular intervals.

The wee one is not with my flock of four atm, but with my older remaining rescue hen (5years old now...). I’m going to have to reflect on what I do next if it IS a young cockerel
