Meet Angevine, I found her at the river

[MeanCheek]

This is Angevine (I'll edit in a picture). Yesterday we were rafting the river and when we pulled over, someone said "there goes a chicken!". Of course, I hopped out and ran into the brush after her. She got away from me the first time, but then we caught her. Someone must have just dumped her.
I think she's a hybrid or maybe a RIR?
I'm also pretty sure she's a she, but something about her/him seems masculine? Don't laugh at me, but I considered a Capon?
She's quarantined now. I think she has a minor case of Scaly Leg Mites. Sorry about her accommodations, I get her set up better.

That's a RIR cockerel.

That's what I thought at first. It would explain why the poor thing was dumped.

Sadly many people dump their cockerels/roosters. Are you going to keep him?

 

[MeanCheek]

Well, I guess  he needs a new name, and sadly probably a new home =(

Probably for a while. Maybe if he's good with the hens.

Do you already have a rooster?

Several. I gave away 4 yesterday.

He does have nice under-color, as a RIR should. Also these double feathers, which I think I've only seen on my pheasant.

I don’t think that’s a cockerel. Looks like a mature pullet/hen. There’s nothing to indicate cockerel.
