Rescue hen but what is she?

[NoleJoe]

This hen was at my wife's work for almost a week and was almost run over in the parking lot numerous times so we rescued her today (man was that a lot of work) and we are now curious as to what breed she might be or possible age. Any guesses for us?

Looks exactly like our Easter Eggers. Expect blue eggs. So similar in age and appearance that I would be hard pressed to deny she's from the same parents and hatch. In fact ... Were she thrown in with mine, we'd have hard time picking her back out.

What age are yours? We just got some day old EE's last weekend (I am assuming you are talking about Ameraucana's?) so that would be cool if that was what she is.

She's not a EE.
She looks to be a American Game or a American Game Cross and she looks to be a pullet still.

I agree she is not an EE/Americauna, she is definitely a game mix, Pretty pullet!

Any way at all to attempt to age her? Does she look younger or maybe a bantam?

Also, is there anything special I need to know about American Game hens or anything special for her?

She is surprisingly healthy and boy could she fly. Everytime we tried to catch her she would just take flight and flew like an eagle. She will now have a home with our other chickens (total of 19) and just in time since I am building a new larger pen with lots of grass and forage space for them.

Definitely not EE or Ameraucana, because no colored ear lobes...
