when will my sick hen be able to go back to the flock?

My hen was sick Friday last week. She is better today eating, drinking, roosting. I have her isolated in my garage. When should I release with the rest of the flock? Thanks, Ryan

Ryan, when you say sick, what were her symptoms?

Do you mean Friday that was just 2 days ago? How many birds do you have? You may be able to put her back in at night after everybody's very sleepy/asleep and then just be sure to be there in the morning when they get up to make sure there are no scuffles so she doesn't get hurt. Could even start everybody out in the morning with some good treats so they all have something to do, e.g. broadcast sunflower seeds.

She went back to her flock by herself. She must have be lonely.
