What is she?

You’re avoiding these two things:
Did you see the bird lay the egg with your own eyes?
Can you get better photos?

There are 2 chickens and one young turkey that's a week younger then Bella it's the pen we keep hurt or young chickens in before they graduate to the main flock The other chicken is an adult chicken who has an injury on her head she lays massively huge eggs she's the only one in there where that was laying and then yesterday I go to collect eggs there's the injured chicken's egg and a little egg next to it in the box not a turkey egg

Could it have been a fart/fairy egg? Sometimes my girls lay smaller eggs than normal.

I mean I'm sure I guess it could have been but she's never laid more than one egg a day I guess that doesn't mean anything obviously they're chickens but you'd figure two by six months old it was a rooster it would be crowing now there's three chickens well two chickens and a young turkey in the pen they're only allowed out when I'm out there to roam around with the rest of the chickens and my roosters try to breed her I keep them separate until I think they're big enough to join the main flock and deal with the roosters

Watching this thread with interest!

She looks younger than 5 months to me. Her adult feathers haven't all come through yet and she looks quite straggly which you'd expect from an immature adolescent chicken. Her comb isn't red enough to be laying. If her breed are slow to mature that might explain why.

I see male hackles but that might be because they are still growing in. The saddles look round ended to me, not male and pointy.

The wing pattern colouring, well who knows. The final body colour isn't there yet, so it may change still.

I believe she _could_ be a pullet. Time will tell. The other chicken could have laid the egg. How does it compare in colour to the other eggs she lays?

That red leakage and those hackles... I'm thinking the egg was a fairy egg from your older girl.

I do not see any male specific saddles, but that leakage and the hackles are VERY indicative of being a cockerel.

Keep updating us! I love birds like this.

Okay, I'd assume it's hers. Chickens don't usually lay more than once a day. I did have a rooster that didn't crow until 7 months old but he was the bottom of the pecking order.

This isn't her this is one of the younger ones but this is what she look like when she was little
