Mystery rescue chick?!

[Logan0203]

Hi everyone!

This is my first ever bird I’ve ever kept, so any knowledge welcomed!
My boyfriend found this little hen chick abandoned, she was stuck in a tractor tyre a few weeks ago (middle of May ish??).
I was convinced she was a Welsummer! And convinced she was a girl! So she is called Rhonda. And if anything changes, we will shorten to Ron!!
I’m just desperate to know what she is, she has a white chest which to me, aren’t Welsummer colours? I have absolutely no idea how old she is either, so if anybody with more knowledge than me could give me some estimates that would be great!
Some pictures attached of Rhonda the Rescue chicken!! First few are the very first few days, not very good pictures as she was very flighty then.
The following pictures were as the weeks went on, she has a very big personality and is my little best friend these days. She HATES being shut back in Her little pen and wants to be out in the kitchen making dinner with me and sleeping in the dog bed all day long!
Last picture was this morning, I bought her a tiny little dog bed to go in her pen seeing as she keeps stealing the dogs big bed.

Looks like a Speckled Sussex, almost, but those should have white legs. I think you have a male.

He/she has very yellow legs haha!
I thought possibly brown leghorn? I honestly don’t know enough about hens to put my finger on it! He/she will be staying even if a cockerel. I love him/her too much already!! Haha.

Brown leghorns should not have white chests. It's why I mentioned Speckled sussex--the mottling gene sometimes overexpresses and gives them a white chest.

Looks very similar to my Speckled Sussex chicks, with a bit more feathers. Definitely over two weeks old.
3 weeks?

Doesn't look to be a Sussex exactly but it's hard to tell. Quite possibly a cross breed and also looks to be a cockerel

Looks like a poorly bred speckled Sussex, cockerel.

Thank you everyone! I wasn’t expecting such a response, this has been great
I knew he wouldn’t be fully whatever he was, as the neighbouring farm to where my boyfriend found him have all different breeds of chickens and cockerels free ranging. He says he could be walking through the fields and step on an egg!!
Love him whatever he may be, excited to see what he becomes!!


Here he is making the dinner with me last night.

Hope you enjoy him! Is he going to be a house chicken?

Still not sold on him being a he either tbh. Some pics look like it others don't. Have to wait and see a bit longer I suppose
