I have had great success with introducing them at night while the big girls are sleeping. A friend suggested it and poof it worked like a charm. Everyone was a flock in the morning.
WHEW! Thanks for the help. I love this little orphan and hate to see her hurt. I'll be looking forward to seeing her beautiful tail feathers again.
Thanks again.

I'm new to chickenville. I have a hen who adopted us after being abandoned. A couple of days ago a cat got a hold of her and pulled out all of her tail feathers and a lot of down feathers.
Will those feathers ever grow back and when do chickens typically molt? Thanks for the help. Thanks...
