A relative of mine just bought a random chicken that his friend didn't want and placed it in the run with my flock. Kinda mad because he just put her in there without telling me. The bird seems to be a red sex link. Relative told me she is old but doesn't know the exact age. It's probably too late to quartine her now since she has exposed herself with all the chickens. She is very beaten up too, barely has any feathers in her butt, why is that? Walks a little funny too, maybe just old age? She also has spurs which confused me with a rooster for a second. I'm worried she might have exposed my hens with some disease.
What should I do? Should I just let her be, hope everything works out? What signs should I look for in my flock in case things go downhill? Sorry for the multiple questions, just need some advice.
