Please help ID this baby.

I found this little one outside at work yesterday and do not know the age, sex or breed. Can anyone please help me figure this out?

Poor bird.
I would say 2-3 weeks.
She looks cold. Do you have a heat source you can put her near?
She's likely to be a mix. I do believe it to be a girl, despite it being so early.

It's probably about 2 weeks old. Very cute!
I'm not sure on breed. It could be a black sex link. If it is, then it's a girl.

 

[The Happster]

Yes, but they are several years old and we raised them from 1 day old chicks. We thought one of our broody girls would be a warm companion but it was a no go. We are keeping this little one indoors for now because it’s too cold here

You've done a great job. Do you have a heat lamp? She's a bit young to be off the heat. She's also huddled, which is a bad sign. I hope it's only that she's cold.

Has she eaten or drunk anything since you found her?

Yes, the enclosure we set up for her last night has a heat lamp but I have no clue how long she was alone before I found her. I found her pretty early in the morning yesterday and luckily had chicken food in the car and placed her in a box under an office lamp until I got off work. I took her out to take pictures.

She now has an enclosure with a heat lamp that I set up last night when I got her home. The poor thing seems to prefer being cuddled versus being alone in the enclosure She has eaten and drinks well but is thin. I hope she wasn’t alone too long before I found her.

Amer? What breed is that?
And that’s the same pic as yesterday...? In which she looks like she’s feeling sucky.

The rest is posted. I didn’t expect a miracle recovery from yesterday but her voice is “happier” and not such a stress chirp. She’s eating like crazy and acting like a “normal” chicken instead of staying huddled/poofed with eyes closed. I found her in the cold running from crows. She was cold and skinny. So when I say “better” that still seems accurate since her previous day was pretty sucky

 

[Vchappell]

Just gonna say: it's actually Araucanas with the lethal gene. Ameraucanas were developed as Araucanas with no lethal gene.

Yes! I had it backwards

 

[FuzzyCritters]

Do you have any other chickens?

I would agree with two weeks old. I doubt it's a black sex link, but both breed and age are too early. I would say a mix, though. Poor little cutie.
