    Reintroducing mother and chicks into flock

    Hi, so we have a hen hatching some chicks at this moment, . She's been brooding on her own in a little shed that she likes. About a week ago we had to block off that part of the garden to the rest of the flock, so she is now isolated from the rest. My question is how do I reintroduce her with...
