HELP!!! Rescued a chicken but not sure what I need to do next

[Justplainchickn]

Not sure if anyone was following this story still but if so I decided to take a photo of my little rescue. She has come a long way and I know maybe it was pointless at this point to quarantine her but thought it wouldn't hurt and allow her to heal. I think we are ok, my flock looks healthy as ever and hoping it stays that way. Sterling is also looking more happy and healthy and has a lot of spunk which I feel she was lacking when she got here. Her tail feathers are starting to grow in and I am hoping now that her skin is healing that we will see some feathers popping up there as well. I did find out what she is. She is a lavender d'uccle. I have never heard of one but when I was looking at chicken articles I ran across a photo of one and figured out what she was. Thanks everyone again for the advice!

She has a pretty big comb to be a four month old.

Well we don't really know how old, it's a guess. I have little info on her/him. It was put in a cat crate for some time to prevent her from getting picked on but I feel it has stund her growth. I don't know. She is really small but I agree a big comb. Do you know anything about d'uccle chickens? I'm so glad she is healing either way! I felt bad how awful she looked. I'm up for by info anyone has on her, or do you think it is a him? Uggg any info is welcome.

Do you have a profile picture of her/him standing up? I really can't see the head very well in your posted pictures. All of the healing is amazing!!

Ok I was able to get a quick photo this morning. She does not sit still ever! This is one of those small feeders setting next to her quart size if that helps determine how big she is.

Sorry I have been on in a while. Holidays always crazy. Doing really well actually, weird you asked cause.yesterday we were watching him/her and seeing how much she has grown and how many beautiful feathers it has. We have three Silkies that are a little bigger than Sterling and then a big partridge rock mix( another rescue). It's super cute cause Sterling snuggles under the giant partridge rocks wing and she follows Sterling around and protects her/him. Well yesterday my little Sterling discovered it was a boy and has been trying to crow and has been chasing the hens especially the big one. It's so funny to watch. I will post you some pics a little later since I have not taken them off my camera yet. Thanks for asking about him.
