Hen or rooster?

[kristylee2705]

Hello. I have what I think maybe a golden Campine chicken. From what I've gathered from Internet searches, it can be hard to between rooster or hen with this breed under 40 weeks old. I don't know a lot at all about chickens. It just showed up at my back door one day and hasn't left and has very much grown on me and I would like to know more if anyone could please tell me more

Looks like a hen to me.

Definitely a hen, but not a Campine.

I'm afraid I can't help with breed since I can't think of any that fit those characteristics. But maybe a mix of some sort?

Is there any way of telling how old a chicken might be just by looking?

Is she tiny? She looks like our Wheaten Old English Game bantam, Sunflower.

If it's your avatar, it's a wheaten game hen.

The link didn't work for me either. But if figured it out. Right hand click and press open in new tab.

link wouldn't work for me either but, I am thinking the avatar may be the bird. How long have you had this bird? If it hasn't tried to crow yet, I would imagine it is a pullet.
