Can't be sure it's a cockerel till it crows. I was told this 7 wk old was a cockerel, nope she's a pullet now 19 weeks. And she's the only cochin I have so I didn'View attachment 1633464 t confuse her with another one.

She’s cute! What’s her name?

My neighbor works there and they observed a family leaving after a visit to a grave then noticed feathers all over the place and when they went over to investigate they found a paper bag w holes in it left on the grave and could hear peeping- it was the chick so he brought it to me. The chick already knows how to follow tapping. The laser be is next- I’m a dog trainer and in 2000 I took bob Baileys chicken camp which traces you how to clicker train animals. We taught the chickens to do an agility course - the chickens had not learned clicker training before that. I’m after w a word than a clicker so the chicken gets a yes! And a worm or treat for doing a desired behavior

That’s amazing how you’re able to train chickens all that.
Are you keeping that chick in your house ? Does it not poop everywhere ? Maybe you know how to potty train it aswell ?

Also the feathers everywhere? That’s kind of strange.... maybe the mother got killed by a predator and the chick found its way into a paper bag from the trauma of it all.
I highly doubt a visiting family threw feathers all over the place and dumped a chick in a paper bag there.

Her name is Diamond and she's the sweetest thing! Even her feather growth as a little thing screamed cockerel. There's always the exception to the rule, lol.

The chick is at my friends house who keeps it in a crate w a heat lamp- most often it’s riding around in her scarf- the cats don’t even bother it. She has a house rooster named mr Martinez who hangs out inside but has an aviary outside to play in during the day. He sleeps inside in a crate by the dogs.

As for the abandonment workers were right across from where the feathers got dumped and chick left inside bag doing a service so they could stop the people leaving as they were in process of a burial for another family.

When the chick is old enough it will move in w my hens - I just added a bachelor pad wing and made a coop out of a doghouse. Lots of room 11 x 4 and 6 feet high fully enclosed. It is attached to the ladies house w a gate so I can let them all roam together or separate. They house is 3 x 7.5 with a 25 x 2 run with the 6’ wire top . Look up bob bailey chicken camp- many of the dog trainers I know take a seminar. It helps you learn positive reinforcement techniques in a fun way

Chicks run and coop in progress! The run continues 25’ to the left of the photo where the girls coop is

Not sure why an extra bachelor pad pic showed up- oh wee

And someone asked about chick poop at my friends house she just picks it up promptly and uses a cleaner

Try 3! Thinking @Cypress keeps their winning record - I for sure see red in the comb and near the wattles- and the tail feathers are pointy not smooth and rounded- all different signs per online research- anyone disagree?
