No baby rooster skills

[Madhouse Pullet]

I hope you're able to keep him, if you're able to. Looks like a little cutie.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I agree with Dobie Lover in that he is most likely a Cornish X, and as such that is a normal appearance.

Welcome to BYC! I have to agree with @DobieLover and @sourland he looks like a Cornish cross.

No I'm sorry I don't have anything for him my daughter got him down the road along with another female chicken but she died within an hour of having the chicks I can't find anyone who could take care of him and it breaks my heart seeing him like this because I don't have the know-how to take care of him

Hello. I wasn't planning on answering because I'm not an expert on chickens and I reckon you are not too. I've seen all your posts and I'm sorry you sound so distressed. I suggest you calm down. You did a good did and shouldn't feel quilty the hen died. As for the lack of food, chickens are omnivores. He can probably survive a few days with some bread, pasta and leftovers while you are searching a home for him. There are also many recipies online with flour and oil as feed busters. Try giving him on fb or at some bird shelter. Let him rest for a while. He is probably a bit in shock. Just be sure he has fresh water, and he's not cold and you will come up with some solution. It's very noble of you that you are trying to save him.

Hello, and welcome to the BYC community.

agree with Dobie Lover, he looks like a cornish x meat bird, the lack of feathers on his back and his substantial body point in that direction.

Welcome!

• That's a meat bird
• He'll need a run
• Is he legal?
• He needs company
• Preening is fine.

(really? You were just gonna leave it at that?)
So blood in the feces and the fact that the pullet died means possible coccidiosis. He might need meds. I didn’t have access to proper meds and I treated my chicks with oregano oil, cinnamon, acv and garlic in their water and they’re cured
