What type of chicken is this?

[RileyMels]

I have a chicken that is really odd. She's about 5 months old and we don't know what breed of chicken she is. The store we got her from as a baby said she was a 'silver laced wyandotte', but when I look up pictures of this breed they look nothing like my chicken

She's super awkward, she runs really weird, and she's really big. She's shaped like a big ball rather than a normal chicken. She has really fluffy feathers and a short greenish tail, and has black and white in random places. Does anyone know what breed she is? We all just call her the big awkward chicken. She's also very mean and likes to bite people's thumbs with her huge beak.

She is a rooster I think.

If he is not walking well, do not breed him.

Yeah I would guess rooster as well....though not much help past that haha.

Really? It doesn't crow at all while my bantam rooster the same age crows all day. I guess I'll have to see if it starts laying eggs haha.

Definitely a rooster. Google pictures of silver-laced Wyandotte's and they look just like that one.
When he runs, does he kind of put his head down like he is trying to make himself more aerodynamic? Mine does that and he looks goofy as hell but there's nothing wrong with him. He's not the same breed but both of the roosters I've had ran goofy, especially when they were younger and more insecure...

That's a silver laced Wyandotte cockerel or a mix thereof. The odd gait can simply be teenage gawkiness, or if it's been a lifelong issue the bird may have some neuro issues.
