What on earth is this?

[KelsiNS]

I might be picking this chicken up tonight-owner says it's crazy and he wants it gone. Five months old, hasn't crowed or laid eggs yet. He says it's a medium-large bird.

I have an easter egger exactly the same color, but Xena is bearded. Is this a game hen of some sort? He said s/he can almost jump from a standtill over the 6' fencing.

It's a strange looking chicken for sure, but any ideas on what breed(s) it might be?

Dark Cornish?

Its probably a gamebird mix.

Correct f I'm wrong, but I have heard gamebird hens make excellent broodies. is that true? I have a hodge-podge flock anyway, so she will be a welcome addition.
