What kind of chicken? Help identify Kevin!

Thank you! I examined her and watched her for a few days. She seems fine... did I mess up? Never had a lost chicken come into our group before...

You're supposed to quarantine them for about a month.......

ohhhhhh.... they are very cool. Winter egg layers?!

If it is a Minorca, and I’m pretty sure she is they are said to lay a very large white egg, but are more of a heat tolerant breed than cold weather, but I would think she would still lay some. They may cut off laying if it gets real cold and then start back when it warms up.

That is what I am thinking but Minocora females have rooster sized combs and my pullets have the same tail, I would give it another couple of weeks maybe, then it will either try to crow or it will be a pullet

Cockerel

ohhhhh.... yeeeesh. Ok. Thanks so much!!!

How long has she been with them? Separate asap!

But if you don't want to wait a month for any signs to show you can take her to a vet and see if she is healthy that way.

Are you sure she's a baby and not a bantam? There are a couple different bantam breed with white earlobes. I think mature bantam hen. There are no pointy saddle or hackle feathers. The comb wouldn't be that big in a cockerel young enough to not have the pointed feathers.
