Someone dropped off a starved almost dead cockeral *update

I'm thinking leghorn pullet too. floppy comb and all.

Yea the comb made me think leghorn too, either way male or female the name still works lol And hubby and I were going to be putting up another coop for the 'pet' chickens, although aside from the meaties they're all basically pets

I mean we sell eggs from our RIRs and we're planning on keeping up a good layer flock though considering they were our first chickens, some of them might make it to the 'pet' coop when they're older.
If he/she makes it, what do you think I'll get if I cross Lucky with one of my reds?

 

[Preservation Acres]

Not sure, but if Lucky ends up being a pullet, survives, and hatches a clutch, you need to let us know. She probably won't go broody if she's a leghorn, but...

That would be a great story.

not entirely true they arnt a very broody breed but i have a very good broody leghorn shes on day 9 she gets off in the morning to eat and do her business.

glad that she/he is up - hopefully she/he will perk right up. we were thinking of how that poor little bird had to so bad -- and he's probably smirking 'how do you like me now!' to whoever threw him out. guess he has the last laugh!!

good for you!

 

[RedHead]

Yea I suppose he did, so far he's being spoiled more than my flock of reds lol today he's become a 'lap chicken' though in MY opinion it's not a bad thing, but hubby keeps reminding me of the off chance that he/she is possibly a meatie and I understand the fact that they were bred for that but for his/hers and my sake I REALLY REALLY hope Lucky's just a white rock, cornish or leghorn

 

[RedHead]

I think this is the best (only lol) lap chicken I've ever known. He tries to cheep and wabble to me if I get to far away from him

 

[Reinbeau]

Personally I think you need to get used to calling it a 'her', those pictures scream out hen to me, I'll be amazed if it turns out to be a rooster.

Has everyone forgotten about a White ROCK?! I ain't seeing no white earlobes on that bird and leghorns have white earlobes
