Hi everyone,
I am new to all of this. I raised 4 hens from 1 day old, and they have been great! A week ago one of my hen's was just standing around, eyes half closed, so got her to the vet, and now 7 days later with treatment she is all good.
I put her back in the coop in a separate area for most of the day today. She paced back and forth looking for a way out and seemed so stressed, so after 4 hours I let her out in a slightly larger area with one of the other hens. They got along all fine, but then the other 2 hens were struggling to find a way in to this smaller area. I eventually had them all together and they all got along. A few hours later I let them have the whole yard together, dust bathing and all. All seems good, but...
Do you think I should bring her in again for the night, or let her stay in the coop?
