Chicken showed up in my yard... help determining sex and breed

[flopschocolate]

This chicken just showed up in my yard. I thought it looked like a hen but now I’m questioning those giant tail feathers. It’s been a while since I had a young bird to compare with. I have no idea about age or breed. Though I think it’s a young bird due to its comb and size. It’s quite a bit smaller than my chubby 3 and 4 yr old hens.

That's a hen. Breed... no clue. Something clearly with a long tail. Game cross of some sort... maybe?

Thanks for your reply. I’m hoping it’s a hen too. I don’t really want a rooster but I’m happy to have gained an extra hen! Do you agree that it’s a young bird, maybe 4 or 5 months old?

Pretty much impossible to guess age without getting super close. Only thing I can say is it isn't a chick, and it isn't an old bird, or if it is, it's an old bird that's been eating well to maintain nice plumage.

Stunning game female (either pullet or hen, depending on age).
