Howdy, and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

Happy to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
It's not a quail chick and it doesn't resemble a turkey poult either! Nor is it a keet, Idk, but it is a chicken chick!

Thanks for joining our community!

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Aww.....sweet little thing. It is probably looking for warmth in your hands, it will need supplemental heat for several weeks with a heat lamp. Any broody chickens in the coop? Keep her warm, clean, fed and watered.

Good luck with your chick and welcome to our community!

Hi babes! Thank you for replying! I do currently have her under a lil heating lamp, but she still prefers my sweatshirt pocket lol! There’s a few moody broody hens, though they were seeming to bully this lil Beb too much

Welcome to BYC!! She certainly doesn’t look like a chicken chick. I’m not very knowledgeable with other birds, but she could be a quail or turkey?

That’s what I was thinking— she looks like a lil Turkey. I just have no clue how a baby Turkey got into my enclosure

Oooo, I haven’t thought of that yet! Thank you!

She looks like a turkey? If so, somebody probably bought her. Or maybe she’s a wild turkey?

I thought she looked like a Turkey too, given there’s some wild lads that roam the property. I have no clue tho lol

Hi guys!
I’ve joined this community to reach out and see how I should take my next steps— my mum went to the coop this morning with our Coturnix wuails, buff Orpington and Easter eggers, and seemed to find a random chick in there. She seems to be a couple days old and is very very very sweet. Is she a quail tho? There’s only one baby and she’s pretty much half the size of my quails already, but they didn’t seem to mind at all and were raising her as great parents. I did have to bring her home with me due to a little flooding and shes sooooo sweet. She always wants to be in my hand or close up to my face. I want to make sure she’s safe and makes it okay, what should I do?
