I say "rescued" because she wasn't actually in a bad home but I took her from my parents because she was the roosters favorite hen. I felt bad for her! She had no feathers on her back when I brought her and another flock friend to my house since I only have hens. My flock is 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Barred Rocks that all get along well. The two hens were transitioned into my flock exactly the way they recommend. The one hen was totally fine and stuck up for herself and my flock left her alone. The other just ran away from them and hid. She did not come out of the nesting box to eat or drink so she got dehydrated. I brought her into the house and took care of her. Now that she is better I put her in the chicken tractor that is inside of the run but she is scared to death! How do I help this girl transition into my flock? Help please!!!
