Please help me identify this “young hen” I rescued today.

Cockerel, mixed breed

Thanks, I guess I can use another rooster...maybe?

Those tail feathers do have a lakenvelder look to them.

Looks like a cockerel and a mix probably an EE or possibly part lakenvelder or Wyandotte

Beautiful bird. She is a he, sadly. I can't say the breed for sure though.

I went back to the feed store and they said bring him back. I told them I’ll keep him if they’ll sell me a hen for a roo price. They did but I suspect I’ve got another too!!!

Agreed, Cockerel most likely an EE.

Next time when your introducing a new bird into your flock, quarantine it for a month before letting it interact with your other birds. While monitoring the new bird closely. This will prevent the spread of disease amongst your flock.

Yes, Cockerel.

I really struck out! At least the owner said I can return them if I want...now to catch them.
