i tried to give him water but he started to gasp for air after so i left it alone for right now. i would say he is a couple weeks old? i know the old owner had him for about 5 days.
when i pulled him out of the box with the rest of the chicks they were all running around and stepping on him. he...

i seen a pic of a rhode island and a welsummer and both look almost like him. rhode island a little more. anyone got anymore ideas or pictures? i appreciate anything.
it died right in my hands. i didnt know what to do. its head was jerking back and forth and blood dripped out of his mouth. after he died i looked in his mouth and there was blood filling up his throat. idk what happened. it was scary/sad.
hmm. i dont think its a brown leghorn. some people said it may be a rhode island red. does anyone else have any suggestions or can point me to some pictures that may help?
yes i understand he was a toosty roosty. he wasn't able to crow yet. i checked the welsummer pics. look alot alike but the feathers of the chicks look lighter. anyone else think of anything?

i'll upload a pic tomorrow. i didn't notice it until yesterday when i gave it a bath and there was a bubble near the bottom of his neck. it was clear. the chick is wild and i have had it for about a month now. it already had colored feathers when i got it but was very small.
