What breed chicken is this??

[sillychicks123]

I have just rescued this chicken from being euthanized, but I was wondering what breed she is. She is absolutely beautiful, but a bit timid and pecky. Does anyone know which breed she is/can tell me some breed characteristics? She is a very small bantam, and I believe she is only four months old. Any guesses?

She looks like a black tailed buff Japanese bantam, or a mix of one.

Pretty though, and good on you for saving her.

I dont know what she is but she is very pretty. Why were they going to put her down?

Im honestly not sure. She was found/brought into a shelter, and I guess she was probably overdue on her stay:/

O. I hate when shelters put animals to sleep, becuase they have used up there 8 days or how ever long they get to stay. Eventually someone will want them. How awesome that you saved her!

I think she looks like a game hen.
