Hatching
Hi,
I'm Haley. I currently have 13 chickens, I'm fairly new to them but having so much fun learning. Right now I have Ellie the buff orpington, Fabio the BLRW rooster, Merabeth the Asian blue, Farrah,Fallon and Fern all BLRW, Betty and Blossom the blue cochins, Hazel the Isa brown, and Dixie, Peep, and Drumstick the production reds in the coop. Finally, my favorite, Eli is an 7-8 week old cockerel. I rescued him at 2 weeks from a local hatcher after he got rained on at 1 week old in an outdoor brooder and started having seizures. He wasn't even able to stand to get food and water. He's now happy as ever although he does seem to have permanent brain damage from the seizures as he's still pretty wobbly and falls sometimes. He has his own private coop for now and he goes out everyday as of this week and sleeps in my bedroom at night. He really thinks he is a dog, he follows me everywhere and sleeps in my lap. We have a special bond because we both have seizures and difficulty walking sometimes. He's very active and always let's me know if he wants to be held.
I was told when I took him home that he was a California White pullet but I've since been told he is a rooster which doesn't affect anything he will be staying with me but his comb doesn't look like a California White to me(it looks fairly similar to my wyandotte rose combs at this age) so does anyone know if he is a California white or something else?
