Hi, my name is Shely and I'm looking forward to some new great info on chickens. I just rescued a girl/ boy from a neighbor that lost her entire flock except one to a raccoon. Can anyone identify what breed this is and if it's a boy or girl?

Welcome to flock!
I’m unsure on the breed but it looks like a boy to me.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Aww....how nice of you to take this bird! Looks like maybe a Sussex, do you know the approximate age? Looks like possibly a pullet (female) I don't see any hackle or saddle feathers yet.

Make yourself at home here!

Hi, nice of you to take that one in...will you be getting more chickens to keep that one company?

Hello and Welcome to BYC. So Glad that you have joined this community of poultry lovers.

That be a Delaware pullet. I have one flock of those for layers. Light Sussex also look like that but are fairly rare unless kept by a fancier for show from what I have found out. She would be happier with a companion pullet of about the same age.

Welcome. It is very nice of you to take her. She looks like a Delaware to me, but could also be a White Sussex. I am going to go with the White Sussex.
