Plenty of roost space then.@aart I have a total of 4 hens, raised together. Lost the #1 BR same time Penny was absent and the shift in pecking order likely is effecting this adventure.
Thanks for your input.

@aart guess I didn't read this carefully and reacted to the number of birds question and missed the important partHow many birds?
They may be more apt to squabble going to roost than in the morning,
mine bicker like crazy almost everyday at roost time even tho they've been together for 2 months and I have like 3 times the roost space needed,
but if she can overcome getting up there, she should be fine in the morning.
Best of cLuck!
I reintroduced mine by first putting her in their cage when the other hens were outside of it. I figured they would get used to her scent being there before they actually saw the bird, and she would get familiar with her new location without the additional stress of the other birds.Update: have had her in a very large metal dog crate in the run for one week, tried to let her out to mingle, and the 3 other Hens attacked her. Placed her back in the dog crate and plan to try again in another week.
