If you will be putting her on the roost with the rest and if you have a roost lower than the other, put her on the lower roost. Easy way to get away from the others and the others will most likely group together on the higher one.
Okay. I guess maybe I'm still quite new to chickening, and am hopefully not making things worse, but my thought process was that if I put her on the top bar amid the others that she'd be more accepted. (Also to stay warm as we begin our descent into the 20s overnight after snowy/wet days not much warmer.) From your suggestions it seems that she would be fine, if not better off, by herself either at the far end of the top bar or alone on the bottom. Is that correct? Would she be warm enough on her own? Our coop is uninsulated and unheated. Thanks.
Re: the broodiness -- if she makes it through to spring and goes broody, I'm giving her eggs to build up a Pat-loving sub-flock
