Some odd circumstances have left me with a mystery, straight run bantam. (The rest of my chicks shipped today, it won't be alone for too long) I think I've narrowed it down to being either a Welsummer or a Brown Leghorn. I'm really hoping for a Welsummer hen because I know that Leghorns can be very aggressive. I think it might be a hen because of the defined colors on the face and head, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas on breed or gender? I'm trying to figure out the breed first and foremost.

Thinking BB Red OEGB. Would be a pullet based on the coloration.
 
I know game roosters can be really aggressive. Are pullets any more friendly? I plan on handling her as much as possible so that she'll be as friendly as she possibly can, but I'm worried about an aggressive chicken still :(
I own old English Game Bantams, & the cockerels/Roosters are friendly, & gentle. Pullets can be skittish, but also friendly.
