A solitary hen

[DaddysBarbie12202]

Hey guys I just need to ask you this I'm really starting to worry about one of my hands I started off with two hands and a rooster we ate that rooster and got another hen and a rooster but they were babies but now that the rooster is old enough to engage in sexual acts with the other hands one of my older chickens I started out with has stayed away from any of the chickens he's got a hold of her a couple times I don't know what else to do she stays locked up in the nesting box or off in the woods

It's likely that it's just the young pair hasn't been accepted yet as flock mates
