Thank-you everyone for all the helpful ideas.
I agree- if this doesn’t work she’ll need a new home.
I’ll post with an update when possible. I’ve got a family medical crisis.
Thanks again
Unfortunately it’s been about 5 months (not weeks) and she’s not accepted.
She’s younger & on the bottom of the natural pecking order which is expected. While in the run she’s able to get away.
I do not remove her from the flock.

I had a portion fenced off for Speedy for a few months & would then let her out with supervision.

I posted photos. Will try again.
Thank-you

She drank & ate a bit. Walked some & is sleeping again now. She had poo...
