I brought him inside and nursed him and I was shocked to see he made it. He had really bad head injuries...

    Is hen ready to be re-introduced to flock?

    It's been nearly a month since the bear attack that got our rooster & 2 of our older hens, along with taking a good chunk out of this girl's back. I'm really happy with how it's been healing. I see no inflamed or infected area, and no strange odor. Here's a pic of what her wound currently looks...

    Reintroduction

    I am working on slowly reintroducing my head hen back to the tiny flock after an injury. The only thing they all seem interested in is figuring out what mesh is. None have tried to attack each other through the mesh. I am having a lot of anxiety about letting her out when shes better. So, does...

    Reintroducing Head Hen back into flock

    So my head hen had an impacted crop and had to get surgery. During that time she also sprained her leg. She has been inside recovering and the more I read about sprained legs I am getting worried about reintroducing her. She was the head hen out of the three and they were all raised together...

    Is It Too Soon To Reintroduce Back Into Flock After Serious Injury???

    Nine days ago, I found my Lavender Orphinton had been mauled by what started as overzealous breeding of my Cockerel who has started mounting my girls. It appeared he had bitten into the back of her neck, drawing blood which brought on the flock tearing at her wound and causing significant injury...

    Reintroduction/Pecking Order

    My hen sprained her leg two weeks ago and recovered great. I’ve made a fenced area outside our run where the girls (3 total) can all see each other to prepare for reintroductions. Last week I let her “friend” out with her, who immediately attacked her. I also feel she wasn’t ready. After a...

    Strange behavior following splayed foot injury. What should I do?

    I bought three chicks a little over three weeks ago. They've been great together until my Welsummer got splayed foot after slipping in a card board box because I didn't put any wood shavings for traction (rookie mistake). After much reading, I made several hobbles for her (I think the rubber...
