Chirping
I had a chicken(JuJu) get attacked by her sisters. I have 14 hens in all of different breeds(cochins, Delaware, leghorns, polish). The coop and run are sized for 20 chickens. I think one of us must have accidentally stepped on Juju and hurt her foot. She was limping pretty bad, but is walking fine now. Which I think that is what caused the attacking.? But that is my speculation. They got her pretty bad but as you can see in the pics it has healed well. I would like to reintroduce her to the coop. My plan is to place her in a dog kennel in the run during the warmer parts of the day for a few hours. Then place her in my husbands shop or our garage over night. It is mid to high 30s most days, but at night it drops. To 10s-20s. After a few days I’m thinking I could overnight her in the coop. Then back in the kennel during the days. Then eventually let her free . Is this a good plan for introducing her back/acclimating ?She is the chillest chicken and has acclimated to inside like she belongs. My dogs even don’t mind her. If she needs to stay inside longer she can but I know it’s best for her to be with the girls. And I don’t like the poop.
