Looks like a baby velociraptor to me. Do you live near Jurassic Park?

LOL Velociraptor. Sure does act like one! I thought she was a bantam and/or some kind of 'game' version of a chicken. But although she looks smaller than them she is a substantial bird when I pick her up so I think she's too big for a bantam game. Not much development on the comb, I'll try for a picture.

She can stay here until she starts crowing, I'm hoping she will merge with my other hens. My hens do not want to share a roost or anything with her. (yes she was in quarantine until I decided she was healthy)

edited original post with todays' close ups.

Aw! Today she finally bonded with our 2 other hens. They were all hiding from a hawk or something together and now they are as close as can be.

Oh yeah, that's a baby eagle if I ever saw one!

No clue what breed though!

You better watch out!!!! Those eagles can take out a chickens quick!!!!!

I do not know why but I think she is a mottled cochin.

if no one has determined this yet i think she is a she.

also she does appear to have a mottled pattern... not the body structure of a cochin though. maybe she is a mottled mutt?

Looks like a crossbred crossbred, but I'm going to be bet my last dollar that none of the parents were eagles.

Thank you for the laugh of the day! Baby Eagle!
