I have seriously considered getting her a buddy or finding someone who is already raising some this age.Are you planning on keeping this chick? If yes, is there any way you can get a another chick of a similar age to keep her company? Having two chicks will also make flock integrations easier.

Yes, she is thin but eats wellYou'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?

***Update*** She seems to be feeling better after a day of love, food and heat I’m still not sure what breed. Several think BSL but those speckles and hawk like face are leading me to Ameraucana , Easter Egger or Barnvelder?? I may never know if it happens to be a mix which is likelyI 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?

This was on a school campus and she was running in front of the cafeteria away from several crows. Campus backs up to woods and a neighborhoodwhere could she have come from? I'd go back and see if there are any more. Perhaps their mother got hurt or taken by a predator.
Just gonna say: it's actually Araucanas with the lethal gene. Ameraucanas were developed as Araucanas with no lethal gene.I definitely didn’t think it was a pure breed of Ameraucana since most are cross breeds due to the possibility of passing the lethal gene. I’m hoping that when she finishes feathering out I’ll have a better idea. She was not feeling great when I found her and was definitely in need of heat and nutrients. I do the best I can and will post another update soon
