Hi all,

I've known about this site and been wanting chickens in my Brooklyn NY backyard for some time. Well the option has been taken out of my hands. A little baby chicken wandered into my yard today. I fed & watered him and the poor thing must have been starving. I've been reading about what to feed it, and will have to expand it's quarters. I have no idea what kind he is or if he's a male or female. I don't know how to post pictures, but above is a link to my Facebook page with a picture of His Chickenness. Any and all help, information and advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Kathy

I cannot view the picture! A photosharing site like photo bucket also works.

She looks like an Australorp- could you take a full picture of her that would help alot! I like them I have one named Emma and she is a terrific layer and a sweetheart too!

You know this means you have to get another one right cause chickens are very social.

and Gratz on the lucky find...

I was thinking of keeping it indoors in a cage, like a pet bird. My parrot comes out at night, why not my chicken? But yes, if he's going to be an outside chicken, I'll have to get a friend. Yipee! This is such a friendly bird! It cheeps when it sees people and wants to be around us.

I will get better pics tomorrow. (S)He's asleep now. I hope he's a She. Roosters aren't legal in the city, and I want eggs!
