What breed and gender? Rescue

[chrismncso]

Hi all! I rescued this little sweetheart and would love any help in identifying the breed and gender. It’s seriously the most tame chicken ever and let’s you hold it almost any way you like. I would love to keep it but unfortunately if it’s a rooster I’m going to have to find another home for it as they’re illegal in my city. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve had it about 6-7 weeks, so I’d say Getting very close to 2 months. I’m really hoping it isn’t a rooster 😭

Go for it! I never looked back since. We also originally got a farm for our rooster (cockerel at that time).
