Chicken diapers?

[esme13]

It's too bad there's not a way to help her. Though, I've seen it happen often in these cases, that the hen will turn into a bully instead. How about this, you get her a friend? A friend who is smaller than her. That sometimes helps in these cases.

I had a hen, Nalla, who was scared to death of my rooster. Come to find out, the rooster was trying to actually kill her. I had a deformed cockerel who wasn't able to move into the flock, so I put him in with Nalla. She immediately adopted the cockerel, even though she wasn't broody. After he had passed, and the other rooster was replaced, she went in with the flock again and was fine with the roosters I had after that.

I've actually seen quite a few bad cases. Things I often would use was a large run with places that they could get away from each other without being seen. This actually helped one of my worst cases come around when I put her in a different flock. Also, she had a sister with her. Together, they settled in with no further issues.

I really think that getting your hen a friend would help a lot. Maybe a friend like a young pullet that can't hurt her and set them up by themselves till they're comfortable with each (approximately 2-3 weeks or so. ).

I might do that, I’m debating because I have 3 chicks downstairs growing out. Only the rooster she doesn’t freak out from. He will spend some time with her , than walks away and she’s back to the porch.

If I add a chick with her, I’m wondering if she will leave it and come upstairs. She jumps on the table to peer into the house.

I'd add a chick that's at least 3 months old or so, that way if it does get left alone, it'll be fine. Also, so it'd do better learning the pecking order. What I'd do is keep the two cooped up together for at least two weeks or more. That way they settle in together and get used to each other. If they become friends, her abandoning it shouldn't be a problem. For, depending on the chick, it should follow her, or they follow each other. (You might get two hens in your house, but hopefully it's you'll get two hens following each other around the yard instead.)

Trial solution and yes, he’s on the porch with her. He’s 6 weeks and basically the same size as her. Hopefully she will like his company

Oops. Guess that was a bad idea. At least she has a friend of her own kind.... Have you tried locking them together up for two weeks to a month somewhere in a coop yet? That might work.
