Stray Hen

She is some sort of gamebird or gamebird mix.

thePRfan, I thought she might be an Old English. Do they get tame?

I believe she's an old english.In fact I looked up a while back when I first got them.

If she is anything she's American not Old English, leg color tells us that.
Silver Duck-wing /Grey Old English have White Legs...

Here is a American Game hen much like the op's

Not my birds/pic

I'd be trying to add her to my coop, simply cause I'll bet she's the bomb at raising babies

Looks like an Old English Game mix.

Chris09, That could BE her! Same little head with no comb...same color and posture.

She is still in my hens' yard this morning. I was happy when she actually ate some fodder that I threw it in her area. I recently acquired a nice little black Australorp, and the two are pretty much always together now.

The lady next door told me she had previously seen the game hen with three half-grown chicks. Sadly, that might explain the bird my dogs got last week. It was a young cockerel so, as a chicken sexist, I wasn't really bothered when they caught it. However, I don't want them to get this hen, so she will have to stay in the run.

By the way...this hen flies like a flipping seagull. I was amazed.

Yes,i have had old englishes.their harder to tame.

Hard to take her picture because she's goosy, but I think she's a good looking bird.
