How do I reintroduce a chicken to the flock?

Date sort Score sort
I just ordered pick no more online bc I didn't own any. I don't think the wound is bleeding I just think it is a broken toe. I think because it looks weird is why the chickens are picking at it. Would pick no more end the chickens picking at it? Even if it is not an open wound? Thank you!! I have started a diff thread and no one has helped!

Pick no more has an ingredient in it that tastes terrible if a chicken pecks at it and tastes it.
It also has a healing property. Yes, it will deter the other chickens from picking at the toe. I would recommend applying every day to see how it works.

It is a thick brown substance that will stain your clothes so be prepared. But it works great.

Hope this helps.
 
Sorry to bother again but today when I put the hen with the others no one pecked at the toe but instead the dominate one jumped on her and now she is bleeding! Is there some way 2 gently reintroduce her to my small flock?

Hi All-
I have a one y.o. Wyandotte hen, Princess, who was badly injured in a hawk attack about a month ago. She survived the attack and has been recovering in my basement for the past month. She's terribly lonely and very nearly completely healed, so I think she is at the point where she can be reintroduced to her flock. The flock is 5 other hens and they live in a chicken tractor with an enclosed run. The hens are a very tight-knit group and have never had any aggression issues in the past. I am curious if anyone has any recommendations on how to put Princess back in with the group. After the past month of intensive care that Princess has received I would be really upset if the other hens turned on her. She is barely healed from an attack that probably should have killed her, and I just don't want her to be re-injured. Suggestions anyone?

I know it was years ago, but how did the re-introduction go? I have one that is desperate to get back with the flock after only a week in our basement ...
