I got a very young parsimmon tree shipped to me. I didn't know it would be basically a stick with no branches. Any advice on how to prune it so it will grow a nice crown and not grow as a sad bush? Should I cut all the lower branches/sprouts and leave only 4-5 on top if it? Thank you in advance!

Forgot to add, I purchased this parsimmon tree so my chickens can have a nice shade on their coop so a good crown development is what I need.
 
I would not trim anything this year. Being transplanted is enough stress for a sapling. MHO and I am by no means a pro arborist
