Anyone have an idea on breed?

Thanks for picking it up and good luck with it. Nice to know that there is a fellow animal saver just a few counties away!

If you I have any, feed him higher protein feed so he can build muscle.

Currently all I have is 20% all flock. But if it's indeed a meat bird I'll get some meat bird feed.

I don’t know how similar freedom rangers are to Cornish x, but you might not want to feed him meat bird feed. It might make him grow unhealthily fast. The 20% all flock is probably just right.

Ok, I'll just stick with the flock raiser. If it is a meat bird I'm not sure what I'll do. maybe it can just live it's life happily as a fat bird I see mixed things about keep meat chicken as a pet. I have a meat turkey we kept as a pet and she's a big girl but healthy and gets plenty of exercise. She's almost 2 years old.

Flock raiser should be fine. Looks like a Rhode Island Red

I hope it's a RIR. Save me a lot of decision making if it's a meat bird. It doesn't do anything but sit in front of its food and water. It's either sleeping or just sitting. I'm hoping it's just tired from whatever ordeal it experienced.

RIR all the way.
I have 7 RIRs right now.
All look very similar. RIRs are duel purpose, so I understand if you think it looks like a meat bird.

I would guess that it’s over 12 weeks old, even my 14 week old still peeps a tad.

20% feed is great. Thats what mine eat through molt/winter.

I have a meat bird, she’s beautiful and happy. A bit over 6 months old. She laid a HUGE egg today:

Here it is compared with a Turkey egg:

Yes, me too.
I am planning to keep her around as long as she’s happy. I’ve been limiting her access to feed, and she still has good sturdy legs. Spunky, active, and all the good things.

That is literally her name, btw, and she actually comes to it!!
