I had one sultan hen in with a mixed flock of 16 hens of various ages, including 1 polish, 1 legbar, 1 Wyandotte, marans, buff orp, EEs, etc. and everyone got along just fine. She was low in the pecking order, especially being smaller, but nobody caused any trouble. To follow up on posts from...

Ok, I'm back. My sultan hen seems stable, but not really improving. I have completed the course of treatment for both bumblefoot (hers was mild/mostly healed already) and mites (again, pretty mild--but I hit her with a combination of ivermectin and the gas and A&D remedy--also treated the legs...
