Hello all im new to the forum and have a question about my very sweet chicken. I think she is a she because i did some research and it looks like her saddle feathers are rounded, but i dont know for sure. "she" also still has down feathers, so im not sure. Here are some pics:




Sorry for the weird kid in the background, he is my cousin

She looks like a production red and they are known for laying lots of eggs.

Where did you get her?

She's too young to have sex feathers, so that's no indicator of sex. I'm thinking pullet cause of her color, but those are some thickish legs.

I'm saying pullet for now, maybe post back in a month or so.

Thanks. A friend of mine new a teacher and her class had raised chicks and this one was the only survivor. They didn't know what to do with it so my friend recommended me.

But it is not a pullet because she has not started laying eggs.

A pullet is a female chicken under 1 year old regardless of whether or not it is laying eggs. Your chick looks like it might be a cross breed with some Cornish in the background. It's got thick, wideset legs and heavy breast like a Cornish but the color is way off for a pure Cornish. It also looks like it has a single comb. It might possibly be a game cross too. I'm on the fence on gender for this one.

right now gender appears to be a pullet and pullets wont start laying till 5 months and some dont lay till they are a year old
