FOUND A CHICKEN WHAT TO DO?!

[Kiki]

I know, I looked but I did not find any. Should I not post an ad for a found chicken?

NO.
I'd just check for a few days to see if someone else posts and ad for a missing one.
I doubt she was taking care of well..

Oh god, thank you for letting me know. I won't post one then!! I didn't know people ate this breed of chicken. Seems awfully small haha!

She most likely is a bantam..she will stay small.

This is the only chicken I have though? Do you think she can makes my dogs, cats, and cockatiel ill?

There is a huge thunderstorm tonight so I will be putting her in my dog's cage in my room.
I just put her in my dog cage and walked out of the room. When I left, she started making these little sad clucking sounds. Is that normal? She has been mostly silent the entire time.

Mites, lice? Just a friendly warning not a scare tactic. Every once in awhile someone blows their horn at our gate in desperation of re homing found animal. We have a quarantine hutch for chickens, rabbits, Ginnie's.. We take them in because we too are animal lovers. Mites and lice and fleas can become a preventable problem. Just saying be careful. We nursed a bumble foot hen back to good health a couple months ago. A distant neighbor sought us out. We had to bug bomb of our quarantine hutch to control the lice. We have big hearts just like you obviously do. Just look at the big picture is all.
Bravo for your compassion!!!!!!

Worms are real in chickens too.

Thank you hahaha! I don't think she has anything? How can I tell?

Mites tend to lie in a coop..in the cracks and only come out at night to eat on the bird so I wouldn't worry too much about them yet.
Lice live on the bird..look close to her skin for bugs or white/grayish build up on the base of the feathers.

Worms...
Take some fresh poop to the nearest vet for a fecal exam....it's cheap.

Flash light and good glasses. Fine tooth comb inspection, so to speak...

Can't tell a lot about the age from the pic., which is not unusual. Grower feed would work best for now. As long as it's eating fine, don't worry about the beak for a few days. It's too old to drown, if you use a Tupperware, or Glad type container for water, that's not deeper than half the height of the bird. Today, look at the bird closely in the light. If you see anything, like tiny bugs, fleas, ticks, etc., crawling on it, you will need to deal with that immediately. If not, give it a couple days to get over it's ordeal. Regardless of it being a flock animal, you have become it's flock, in a sense, and it will do fine. While many have talked about worming, etc., give it a couple days, then go from there.
