Help! Rescued chicken, she's safe now but I need help identifying age, gender, and breed.

I wish that young pullets would simply arrive at my house... but Nooooo, I have to buy straight-run chicks, feed them for months, discover that over half are males... *mutters grumbles and continues to whine*...

After someone else suggested wheaten game fowl, I started doing research and she looks exactly like this Old English Game hen. What do you think?

Looks like a young pullet to me, but could be a breed I'm not familiar with or a barnyard mix, but apparently animals know where to go when they need homes from what i've been seeing lately, or they could just be planning a revolt and are showing us they are the boss and will do as they please lol

Ain't that the truth!! She let ME know she was moving in - haha! I'm thankful I have the space to keep her safe.

I would tend to agree, other than the coloring, so possibly different color or a mix

Gamefowl pullet - she will never be a prolific egg layer. She'll lay a clutch and then go broody. You can always give her some fertile eggs to hatch.

This.
Word of caution when dealing with gamefowl girls, they're absolute beasts when it comes to the kids.
If you by chance let this sweetheart hatch chicks she won't hesitate to take on any and all threats perceived or actual "this includes you!"
She will however most likely be one of the best mothers you'll ever see though.
