Little stray chick, what breed are you?

[MamaJ1977]

Stopped into the feed store just for feed this morning. Left with this little bugger. Someone had found him wandering, so he needed a new home, free of charge! My heart is too weak for such things.

Any idea on breed, age, etc?

Looks like you either have a production red or a red sex link. Can you get a picture of the comb?

Come of my new Hampshire reds looked like that too

Here’s a few more. Tried to get photo of the comb. Not easy!

Looks like you have a 4-5 week old cockerel on your hands, what ever the breed.

Looks like 2 of my little ones. Folks on here said NH Red or Production Red. Good for you for rescuing the little one!!

Oh man, a cockerel, eh? We live in the country so that’s fine, but how can you tell? Curious! And thank you!

Any red in the comb this early (before the bird is completely feathered out) almost always means it is a cockerel.
