that is not a rooster, that is a white leghorn hen. probably a spent hen on the way to be butchered.

im 99.9% sure. its a very sad short life for those battery hens. shes very lucky to have fallen off the truck or whatever happened.

I did a quick look back at the first pics posted and the bird (he/she) looks soooooooo much better. I know it has a way to go, but what ever you are doing, keep it up! It sure is a lucky bird! Zoloft is a cute name, and it does seems to fit. But I think "Lucky" fits better, even if it never really becomes social, it is one lucky bird. No telling what kind of tramua the bird has been through. You are very kind to take it in an nurse it back to health! Thanks for the update and keep us posted.

i guess the only way now to figure this whole hen / roo thing out is either a crow or egg.... im still going to go with an egg tho.....

Maybe the chicken got chased off a nearby farm by a predator. Check with your neighbors.

Thank you all again for your interest. This will be my last post on this subject. I am now convinced that many of you are right about my little Zoloft being a hen. I was finally convinced when she started squating and hunching her sholders when I would pet her. Something Ive only known hens to do. So She is doing better and better, and growing too perhaps she was a little younger than I had assumed at first. here are some pics I took today.
