Can you post a pic of it? Is it a possibility that the hen was still carrying semen from another roo?

Just about all of my boys can easily clear a 5 foot fence. Bantams especially, but I've seen some of the really big boys go over a 6 foot fence with no problem. If they want out they'll get out, unless the run is covered.
The only other roosters were LF, and i don't think it would be easy for them to mate a bantam hen. If they were to mate the chick should have died in incubation
ETA. The chicks feet are orgish. Gonna post pics this afternoon

Well, be sure to update the pics in a few weeks. I'll be curious to see what he/she turns out to look like. I've had a few that were more orange than yellow but never any that were dark like that.

Seven at once? Yikes! The most I've had at once this year is 3. Two of my girls have gone broody twice this year - one is on eggs due to hatch today. I have had a total of 10 broodies so far this year.
