What breed and sex is this chicken?

[Angie.knoche]

Our friend found this chick in his drive way, and we took it in. What breed and sex is it? It almost doesn’t even sound like a chick...has more of a bird chirp.

its a chicken... it looks like a jersey giant or australorp.. too young to sex.. does it have food and water? try giving it some electrolites or nutria-drench.. could you give it some plain scrambled egg and fresh greens? is something wrong with its neck?

In agreement with the above. If the foot bottoms are pink, it's an Australorp. Yellow would equal Jersey Giant.

So far, nothing's screaming cockerel.

Thank you! No I don’t believe anything is wrong with it’s neck...why do you ask? It has some yellow/white feathers on the underside of its neck. We have some food and water out there for it right now, and a heat lamp. We will go and get some electrolytes and greens tomorrow.

Yay! That’s good news! Thank you! I think I remember noticing the bottoms of the feet being yellow, but I need to go double check.

Great! oh, I only asked because in 1 or 2 of the pics its neck looked weird... but as long as it doesn't look like that all the time were good Thanks for saving it!

Can you tell how old it may be?

Poor thing! Someone has got to be missing a chick... I mean, it’s not just everyday that you find a chick in your driveway ha!!

Yeah it’s the strangest thing! He doesn’t know any neighbors who have chickens...just so random! But she will be a welcomed addition to our brood!

Looks to be about 6 weeks old, like someone stated it could be jersey giant but it could be a hatchery australorp with yellow feet or just a black barnyard mix.
