She is not laying eggs. Still growing a lot of missing feathers back.

She runs from him. He is courting her and I allow him to mount her. When he mounts her, she doesn't just put her head down and tail up, she almost goes completely limp and he crushes her almost flat to ground. She spent 3 night in henhouse. I have to put her in each night and coax out in...

Brave acts like she has never been touched by a rooster. She responds differently than my girls. Any thoughts?

Brave has spent 2 nights in the hen house. I put her in just before they all go in to roost. Just like I figured, they are too tired to fight, so they just grumble about it instead. The first night, half my pullets refused to sleep inside with her. They all slept with her last night.

We're a week into it. New girl (Brave) is allowing my girls and cockerel to eat and walk by her. She still hides under my feet when she's scared, but no longer running away. She's allowing my girls to touch her. My girls are still pullets until after winter. Brave acts older than my chickens.

My daughter rescued a stray hen from a cat near her school. Limping on left leg. Comb bloody. Missing feathers on head, back, rump. Other feathers were cut by someone, probably previous owner. She did not have any bathroom debris for 8 hrs. Eating, drinking and using potty now. I made a...
