I live in upstate NY and recently found a chicken at our doorstep. We thought it might be a rooster but the lack of noise and an egg told us otherwise. I am just wondering if I do have a Polish. Identifying her may help me find the owners. She has a spot on her back where she's missing feathers. At first I assumed she got attacked by a fox in the area but looking closer it seems like she was pecked at by other chickens. Also a person at Tractor Supply said that someone may have left it in the neighborhood because they don't want it. Is that possible? I'm also looking for a temporary coop idea until I can figure out a permanent home for her. It's getting cold so I want to keep her safe. We've laid out a box full of newspaper (am going to get hay soon) with some food and water. She ignores the box but likes the food. Right now she is in the open and free to roam though she prefers our porch. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!!!
