What Am I? Unexpected Feed Store Find!

[ILoveMyHens]

This is the unexpected chick; I was walking up to the feed store and I see a movement under a doghouse out front. I look down and this guy is staring at me. Thankfully I caught it and was able to take it home. So, can anyone tell me anything about this little one?

Thanks,

Katie

A quail chick?

Looks kinda like a guinea to me.

Oh dear. Can I feed whatever it is regular chick food for the time being? I guess if it lives, I'll find out what it is!

Thanks,
Katie

I would say you won't kill it with chick food. You could always supplement with a little bit of egg if it needs more protein.

Cute! Wish I had one.

As long as we're guessing - Bobwhite quail

Keep us posted as he/she grows

I will keep y'all posted. I wish I had chick miracle grow so I could find out sooner!

Looks like my ugly birds did as babies. Ugly Birds is my loving term for my trio of guineas

they all know who I am talking about when I say hello Ug-ah-lee birds !
