Rescue chicken

[Whispergrrl]

Yesterday, I found a stray chicken outside of my coop. None of my neighbors have chickens. I called animal control. They asked me to keep it while they figure out who owns it, since I have chickens and know how to take care of it. Today, they called and said it doesn’t belong to the person they thought owned it, and asked me if I wanted to keep it. So, now I have a rescue chicken. I have it quarantined for now, to make sure it’s not sick. I think it’s a hen, but not positive. No clue on breed. Any help? Also, advice on integrating this chicken into my flock of 6?

Looks like a hen!!

Yeah, she's a girl. Other than that though, not sure. Does she have spur nubs?

Welsummer hen, no doubt

I would keep her quarantined to make sure she isn't sick for some time.
I do a long integration than most people... I do a 2-3 week see but no touch integration and it works very smoothly for me.

I'd put up posters to make sure no one's looking

Welsummer hen, no doubt

Welsummers have red earlobes.
