Need help identifying this breed

Well that solves the giant debate. Name him Caitlin. Then maybe he'll lay a fertile egg and brood it too!

Lol her name is Audrey after Audrey Hepburn.... enough said right

I’d prefer not say... but to be honest even I’ve rolled my eyes and had a good chuckle about her being a transgender chicken.... so I’m taking that with a grain of salt... the same person told me to read chicken books to her so she knew how to act and behave

He is a boy and has always been.

wait... how would a chicken be transgender?

They aren’t. People call it that, but what really happens (very very rarely) is that a hen damages on ovary, causing an overload of testosterone, and stops laying, begins crowing, sometimes molts her hen feathers for rooster ones, and will even try to mate hens. They can’t fertilize eggs, as they were born with no testicles.(it doesn’t work the other way - roosters cannot become hens.)
OP cannot possibly have a “trans chicken” because they are very rare and their bird has no ovaries to damage anyways. It’s a male and has always been.
OP, come update us in a few weeks when he starts crowing.

I even said to the seller... now it’s definitely a girl isn’t coz I can’t have roos where I live in town and I would hate to raise her and get attached to her just for her to turn out to be a roo... and the lady/girl said “she’s definitely a girl dad has sexed them and these ones in this pen are all 100% girls” ”the boys are further up the yard in a different pen”

And how exactly did the dad sex them?
At best, sexing methods are 90% accurate.

To be honest I have no idea...
I’ll just wait and see what happens.... I still believe that she is a hen.... until she proves otherwise...

What makes you so sure it’s a hen?

They were told it was a hen, and "cares" for ducklings

Hmm.
That means nothing, really. At this age, even a pullet wouldn't have an ounce of mothering instinct in her.
