We managed to catch this chicken (hen, I assume) that has been living in the woods around one of our rental cabins. She showed up there and started hanging out on the porch in July. Can you tell me what breed she is, and perhaps a guess at her age? Thanks!

She is probably a mixed breed. I don't know any true breeds that come in that color. Is she a bantam? Possibly a game cross.
She appears to be over 6 months old, but that's as far as I can guess.

Plenty of pure breeds come in a wheaten color- Old english game bantams, Cubalayas, various other games. Some heritage breeds too, but i don't know them as well.
 
I'm new to chickens, but she is definitely smaller than my other 18-22 week old assorted breeds. So maybe she is a Bantam?? I hadn't even thought of that!
