    When to introduce an injured hen back to the flock?

    I was wanting to give an update on this issue. The original hen that was being picked on has most of her feathers grown back and all seemed to be history. Until today that is, she had a very small bald patch and irritated skin. I did notice the aggressor purposely going across the yard to...
