Humming Bird From the Chicken Coop

Stephanie saw some fluttering in our chicken coop. Sometimes small birds get into the upper part of the coop, then don't think to fly back down by the ramp. In the past we've found numerous types of birds in the coop; chickadees, sparrows, red winged black birds, Stellar's Jays, bush tits, and robins. This time it was a humming bird. It look to us like male Rufous hummingbird, or a female Anna's Humming bird. Please comment below if you can confirm the species. Stephanie opened one of the upper coop doors, but the humming bird didn't fly out. She put her hand in for the bird to perch on, to help it out. It perched, but then fell asleep. When it woke up it licked her hand, so we made some humming bird nectar for it. After it ate and had another nap, it flew about the kitchen. When we opened the front door it flew outside. Soon after, it flew to our backyard near the humming bird feeder.
