Pretty Pearl!
I got into chickenship almost the same way, except my visitor was a small rooster. He was already somewhat tame but treats helped win his trust. Treats should only be 10% of their diet, which takes some discipline since it is so fun to feed them. Mine especially like cheese shreds, raisins, cucumber slices, and watermelon when they can get it. We built a coop, got him a hen friend, and he lives a happy life. They have a coop/run (just the two) that is about 10x5'. I did a lot of research on making the coop safe and fortifying it to keep any possible predators out.

Thank you for replying to my post. I do happen to call her pretty Pearl every day because she is. Good to know that you came upon chickenship like I have. I will be mindful of keeping treats to 10% so that she eats her special feed. I did a lot of research for the run too and eventually found a tall kennel enclosure. There were so many runs on Amazon that looked too flimsy. Peral deserves a safe home.
