Sorry to barge in but I just saw this. Yes, she looks female. She is also very, very adorable!:love

I'm so glad!
I took her in last weekend because she wasn't fitting in well with the flock, her siblings were completely fine, but Thor (that's her name) was being attacked by most flock members and ignored by her mama. I separated the bully, but the other hens would peck her. She'd spend most of her time alone, scared, hiding and trembling in the coop. So I decided to take her in and she's very happy now.

I'm glad that you took her in before any more damage had been done. She will be a very beautiful chicken when she grows up. Update in a couple more weeks so that we will know for sure!

I was unsure if it was the right choice at first but then I found some small scabs under her wings from when the hen used to grab her. I don't regret it anymore.

And since she's used to being alone, she doesn't get lonely. She has loads of plush toys. She only chirps loudly after cuddle time when I put her back in the brooder, but she just wants more hugs and settles down in 3mins

That's sad. I hope she heals soon if she hasn't already.

Yeah, sounds fine. Once she is old enough and you let her out with the others, I hope she adapts quickly.

She's completely fine. She doesn't notice the scabs since they're so small.
