    When to reintroduce injured chicken to the flock

    We have 5 hens with ample space. A couple of weeks ago, they pecked and almost killed one. I was able to get her out, doctor her wounds, and keep her separate. She is healing but still has a bald head and some dark scabs (they pecked her on the top of the head). She is currently free range...

She has some puncture wounds on either side of her tail feathers, but it appears the organs are intact and mostly skin injuries.

    Hen hasn't been able to walk for months?
