I found this gal outside of the house. I took her in and I don't know how to care for her. I don't know her age or what to feed her. I live in Chicago so if I leave outside she'll probably won't last )):

I suggest you check out "people with house chickens." My friend has had house chickens for over 25 years, different breeds and sometimes as many as 5 in the house at once. Currently she has 2 serama matronly hens and a silkie hen. The folks at "what breed or gender is this," can sort out your issues. Welcome to Backyard chickens. glad you joined the flock
