HELP! Trying to catch a lost/found feral chicken!!

UPDATE: The poor darling (who is quietly living in a large dog crate with a 2x4 roost installed) has finally put back some weight, grown back her feathers (she had been in an encounter with some sort of creature and lost some feathers the date we nabbed her) and January 12th she laid this lovely tiny perfect blue-green egg. It weighed 42grams (second egg Jan 13th was 41grams).

She is doing really well and we hope to get her outside soon. We may wait until March or so depending on the weather (pretty cool here until then) since she has no companion at this time.

We either need to re-home her or get her a buddy (her size and docility!).

I thought she was a lavender Oprpington when I saw the first picture. Pretty hen, Great story. Thanks for the update!

I'm glad she is doing well! With her beauty I hope you can keep her.
