Can't find any exact matches for chickens that look like this. My buddy got an egg and hatched it by itself 2 months ago so maybe this is how chickens turn out without other chickens around? Pretty sure it's just a regular white chicken but the other chickens in town don't look the same.
She kinda looks like an eagle with the head feathers and her sharp features. Doesn't have the dopey look or waddle other chickens have either. Is it possible that it's somehow part eagle? It hasn't started making chicken noises yet so it sounds eagle-like as well.
Only thing i can think of that differentiates it from other chickens is that i spend a lot of time with it and prepare it wicked meals with the best nutrition i can figure. She has been sleeping in her own house since she was a month old which maybe was too soon. Also it's the only chicken I've seen that has never encountered another chicken
 
No he looks part Polish.
An eagle would kill and eat a chicken

ty! it must be something similar because the head feathers look similar. although this one looks more dove-like and doesn't have yellow feet. not sure if anybody in town even has a polish chicken but i should double check
 
Mixed breed. I would guess leghorn is in its ancestry but eagle is not. I think it's probably a cockerel with a comb like that at 2 months.
wouldn't surprise me if it was a rooster! chases around birds and attacks its ball like a rooster but i figured that's just how chickens are. the tail feathers don't look the same as a rooster's but it's still young
 
That is a female mix breed chicken

ty i think it's a female as well because the tail feathers seem pretty thick and they don't curve the way they do on roosters. she certainly seems to want to fight other birds a lot but i'm pretty sure hens fight a lot as well. i got her at 2 weeks from a dude who just hatched an egg under a lamp so i might be able to figure out the breed with some detective work. really impressed with how badass this chicken is turning out
