Hello everyone, name is Lauren and my husband came across this chick in the middle of the road a few days ago with no mom or other chickens around and of course i couldn’t leave it there. So now i’m a mom again lol. so yes very new to chickens, i know close to nothing about them or how to care for one. I wish i knew what kind of breed or gender it is but maybe you guys can help me out on that. I would love for it to be a female so i can collect some eggs but who knows.

I currently work in law enforcement in Miami and i’m married with one two-ager 😂. We also have 2 dogs and a fish tank.

I really hope i can learn a lot from this forum so i don’t fail this little chick. Pictures below!

:welcome Welcome to BYC!!! Looks like you have a Welsummer chick, probably about 2 weeks. Idk about the gender though.
that’s what i was thinking! either welsummer or speckled sussex? from what i’ve seen on google images. someone even told me possibly an easter egger whatever that is.

Yeah either Welsummer or Speckled Sussex, it'll be easier to tell when the chick is older
