Oh wait- edited here- uh wrong color legs. Maybe a Java cross? Sure looks like a Java hen with wrong color legs, though. Pretty!

Thanks for your responses. If it is a roo it will have to go back and live inthe woods but I would feed it every day on my way to work. If it is a hen i can keep her. Tonight she jumped on the fence and went over so I thought well she is choosing her faith. Then I hear the pine straw moving and look over and she was trying to get back in. So I went and opened the gate and did my chicken call and she came and roosted in my tree. Waited to dark and put her in the sleep coop. I hope she is a hen. Send all hen vibes, but I will support what ever. I will also wait until a crow comes or an egg. This chicken stuff can be stressful

The long, pointy saddle and hackle feathers are a give away... It's a roo.

100% rooster

Black -
Java, Giants, Australorps, Orpingtons,
All have Black Legs.

If I was to bet I would say HE is a Black Plymouth Rock.

But he is 100% all Rooster.

I agree! That's definitely a boy and the yellow legs threw me for a moment only because I wasn't sure there were yellow Rocks.
