Help! I don't know what she is!

Can someone tell me what this little girl is. She is so tiny and doesn't seem to get any bigger. My daughter found her running around in a park and we couldn't find the owner so we took her home. She is very sweet but my daughter wants to show her at the fair. I realized I have no idea what she is.

Here is another pic

To me, she looks like a Red Cochin Bantam or a Red or Buff Cochin Bantam mix.

Looks like a buff bantam cochin. So glad you found her!!! They're one of my favorite breeds

This. She looks a perfect size for a bantam. Is she laying? If you ever want a hen to brood chicks, she should be your go-to girl. Mine was so broody last year she tried to brood in the feeder

She looks like a Buff Cochin bantam (but appears slightly on the dark side for a Buff Cochin bantam), but I suspect that is because the lighting in not real good in the pic. Good lighting in a photo can make all the difference in the world.

You just made me like bantam cochins that much more! My oldest isn't broody yet but she likes to tuck any egg she can find under her. I figure it's good practice

Thank you! She is dark for a buff. The pic was taken in the morning and that is exactly the color she is. We have a buff Orpington and she is much darker and redder. So I guess she is a red?

She isn't laying yet. She is too busy doing everything she can to get out of the coop!

If that's the case, I would say, yes, she is a Red Cochin bantam hen.
