My friend called me saying that one of his hens was pecked by his other hens to the point that poor hen lost feathers from her neck and was bleeding. He took her away and nursed her to back to health and when tried to re introduce her to the rest of them again they pecked her again. So hen ended up in our coop. She sat in the nest for 3 days scared and ate only when I gave her some food in my hand. I also noticed that my other chickens pecked on her too. So I put her in a little house 3x2" with a run 6x5" right next to others, so they can see each other. The question: is she going to be happy by herself at night in her own coop? Should I try to re introduce her to the other 3 eventually or just make her own house permanent. If the answer is that she is just screwed and banished for life to be alone I am going to make her house better, make it higher of the ground etc. I feel bad for her she is such sweet hen.
