Yesterday my neighbor brought me a tiny chick he found in the road. Attached is her photo. She is about 4 inches long and 3 inches high...just TINY! She looks like she is losing her yellow fluffy down and getting white feathers. She can fly up 2 to 3 feet (and hits her head on the top of the dog kennel she is being kept in). She seems very afraid of me (and all people). Based on this how old do you think she is? How on earth she ever got on the road we'll never know...I've never seen any wild chickens around and my husband and I are the only people in our neighborhood that keep chickens (and one accidental rooster). Will it stress her to stay alone (she has parakeets in the same room to keep her company)? I'm wondering if we should get a couple more tiny chicks...don't really want to chance getting another rooster but if it will help this little one....
Any way to tell if she is a she? Any advice on keeping this tiny bird would be greatly appreciated.
