A BIG MEAN PROBLEM

[21hens-incharge]

I will put her in a cat carrier. How long do I keep her in it until I can let her join the barred rocks?

Will she be able to stand up in a cat carrier?

I would give her at MINIMUM 2 square feet and 2' tall so she can move. Bigger would be much better because she will require food and water too.

I use a 2'x4'x2' tall brooder box I made when I need to segregate a bird.

It can take literally WEEKS before she is accepted.

Hahaha um... I have tossed a chicken in there and it was accepted i have done that many time actually. I will set up a box or something for her and hopefully it works fingers crossed

It won't work all the time, though. I'd recommend a 2x2 as well, minimum. Good luck.

I do just toss them in... but I bring lunch with me, b/c I am there a for a few hours to make sure every thing is good.

How big is your coop and run, in feet by feet?
Dimensions and pics would be most helpful here.
