Stray chicken. What do I do?, and it’s been SO hot.

Looks like a really beat up Cornish Cross

Leghorn. No doubt. CX would be way bigger built, plus that comb is all Leghorn!

Me, I'd take it in and give it a good home. That poor bird wants to live.

Me too. Poor girl deserves a home.

Chickens housed under artificial light for extended periods of time without access to natural sunshine get large pale floppy combs.

That is a sad thing to do to a living thing.

It makes me appreciate my bunch of red combed slackers even more.

Should I be concerned about the proximity? Maybe it’s too late anyway. this is the place she picked.

I was thinking about making a makeshift run out of those spare dog run pieces

As the sun starts to set go out and see if you can catch her. She will probably be wary of humans as the only ones she has seen have brought death with them. Put her in a dog crate or prefab chicken coop inside your flock’s run so they can get used to her.

Here she is. Oh my.

OMG! I think she's adorable!!! Like a Dr. Suess chicken!!!

I mean, of course she looks rough, but I just love her. I would take her in in a heartbeat. I think you'll be greatly rewarded if you do. And you must keep us all posted on her progress.

You all convinced me to give her a chance. She’s ugly as sin but isn’t acting sick. I will keep her contained and feed and water her. Seeing the egg laying factory business up close makes me sick. Horrible cruelty.
