Welcome to BYC! All the suggestions above are great. I agree that she might be lonely and a mirror will help with that. Chickens aren't an animal that likes to live alone.

We are planning to her her a mate. My chick rather eat bugs then her good. But I leave food out all the time. Thank you for the suggestion I will read it.Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You need to have more than one chick.
The chicks need supplemental heat.
The chicks need fresh clean water at all times and a good chick starter for feed.
Their bedding needs to be dry and clean.
May I suggest you read up in the Coop and Run forum and the Managing my Flock forum and read some of the coop build articles so you understand what a chicken requires in order to thrive.
I would recommend getting her some friends. Chickens are social creatures.We actually brought a pair but the boy died. So now am worried if we bring another one she will peck him. She used to peck the boy when ever she is bored
Swollen eyes with puss it typically a symptom of a respiratory illness. You may want to post pictures in the ER section.Hello again.
Turned out she was a he. He started to coo every morning like a male chicken.
So I went and brought a new chiken from near petshop.
And the new girl had a swollen eyes. I thought it might be because she fought with other chicken in the shop and I let them eat from same bowl. But I put them to sleep seperately. And today I noticed puss in the new hens eyes and took her to vet and turned out she had fowl pox. I got eye drops from vet. Is my male one safe?
