I got this chicken from someone due to a fox eating most of their flock, i can’t figure out what breed she is or age for that matter..is she old or a pullet ? I think she’s a pullet but someone else said she’s an old hen that’s just small I’m so confused. Also excuse the mess in the background we decided to let her eat off the table while we were cutting vegetables and cleaning out in the kitchen.
So the rest of the flock is not with me (I took in this specific one into my little flock I already had since she was being severely bullied with the rest) but they had cream legbars, some white ones that were fully white and looked like either California whites or white leghorns and they were small, one was a red hen, then some grey ones with a white neck (the roosters get more interesting though). I only have photos of some of them since my dad took the rest in for his flock which do not live with mine. One thing about this flock though, all of their chickens had similar tails and build and were generally smaller and flew very very well and they’d fly a lot more than the flock we already had before getting these. Idk if this helps with anything. this is the first rooster that was in the flock, although they had more than one rooster but only this one and another survived. I saw the third dead rooster since we took them in the same night the fox attacked and the rooster was fully white with some tiny black feathers. this is the second rooster, he is with the cream legbar chickens since he is their rooster, he is smaller than the average rooster. His crows are silent and he rarely crows. Sorry for the bad quality of pictures I didn’t get to take pictures of them we’ve been busy building them homes and coops etc since they got in. I’ll try getting better pics if these aren’t enough.This is the second rooster again, with his hens (the cream legbars) this is sadly the best picture I have of the red hen. She has grey feathers in her tail if you look hard enough, same grey ones the white chicken I showed in the original picture has.

I just looked up Cornish crosses and they look a lot like that. I’ll try getting a close up picture in a few days though since I’ll be going there to bring them some vegetables and do checkups to make sure they’re doing fine mixing with the original flock they got added into
She doesn't look heavy enough to be a Cornish Cross IMO. Very likely she's a White Rock. Hatchery strains tend to be quite heavy but not to the extent of a Cornish Cross which have to be on diets to even live a semi-normal life and are prone to crippling joint problems.
White Rock was my first thought.. But I expect much yellower legs than that. I wonder if possibly Orpington? The red ear lobes are another indicator of not white egg layers.. so not Cali white or leghorn.
I agree that she is a young pullet. But a good picture of her leg and feet scales MIGHT help clear that up.
