Found chicken dumped in forest

[redinator]

Hi ! We live on a state park and I got my mangers permission to keep him before we caught him ! We do have quail already and we were eventually planning on chickens so now is the time lol. We plan on building a hoop coop this weekend and then getting him some hens

Sound like he had good timing.

What type of chicken is this? Hen or rooster ? Also any chicken keeping tips are appreciated, we will be building a coop this weekend

Welcome to BYC and so happy you can rescue them.

Haha, someone is being naughth dumping their roos maybe. Sounds like you have inadvertantly opted for the bachelor flock.

Definitely try to find who's dumping them! There are people who rescue roosters to make bachelor coops exclusively. I hope no more roosters are left to fight wildlife in a state park!
