Rescued Hen not looking so good.

[7LittleOnes]

We just took in a rescued hen that a friend found wandering the city. We already have a small flock and were the only ones our friends knew to call. I am pretty sure she is a young Black Maran. She is pretty tiny so I am assuming no more than 4-5 months old. She's beautiful!

I just got her home a couple hours ago and put her into her quaranteened coop and I think something is wrong with her. She is laying down all the time. She can stand as she has gotten up to get water a couple times, or just to stretch, but is generally just laying in the bottom of the coop. Tail feathers are pretty droopy.

I have no idea how long she was lost for... or what is going on.

Any advice would be helpful!

I would just give her some feed and water and let her rest. She's probably exhausted from her adventure and is just relieved for some chicken companions and a safe enclosure.
