Hey y'all! So I recently "adopted" two chickens and I'm not sure the breeds nor the genders. So help me out!

Long story short, I was driving down a street on the opposite side of town when I noticed a lady selling chickens from afar. So I pulled over and decided to buy one of the hens manly out of pity. Poor girl had no water, food, or shade. She was just in a crate directly under the sun. So if you could please tell me what breed this little hen is and how old she looksAlso noticed she's not familiar with human contact and is extremely fast!

the first is a barred rock and the second I also think gamebird both appear to be females to me. You may want to check them over closely for mites and lice and worm them just in case. The poor hen kept in a crate in the sun, was not well cared for -an extra incentive to really check her thoroughly. I know good people pity animals in bad situations but, you can end up with a bucket load of trouble like, contagious diseases, etc. etc. . It's best to buy from someone who takes good care of their stock.
