My girl is still not 100 percent healed she got messed up pretty badly by my older ones at what point do you think with her head looking like should I even attempt to do the integrating . I’ll put her in the brooder cage for now since keeping her in my home isn’t ideal. Should I make a place to where they can see her just not get to her. I just would hate for something horrible to happen to her again I’ve worked so hard to get her back to normal. My whole back yard is fenced in we did a run but haven’t yet completed it . And a large barn with a lot of space and only have 9 chickens one being a sea bright rooster and he’s a bit meangood Lord, this is why I can't post pictures, I am sorry for the repeated pictures.
Behind the plywood is a feed bowl that really cannot be seen from most of the rest of the run.
I have the pallet leaned to the east as it is giving shade in the late afternoon.
If you notice the black plastic box, it is used for wind shelter, and there is a feed bowl in front of it, but there is also one behind it, under that old piece of tin. So I have 3 feed stations all out of the sight mostly of any bird at another station.
The old saddle rack and saw horse and the branch in the corner allow my birds to perch in the late afternoon sun. It gives them another way to get away from each other.
Now I realize that many of you live where that much old junk would not be tolerated by the neighbors, but I wanted to give you ideas what maybe you could add to make the run more interesting and safer to your chickens.
This summer I got a single bird, at 10 weeks of age integrated into the flock. She is still a bit of an outcast, but she is working in more and more each day. I won't say she never gets a bit of a chase or a peck, but she can escape and get away.
Hope this perhaps give you some ideas.
