Hi! I recently rescued a chicken from a coworker who was attacked by her flock. She had a horrible wound on the back of her head but pulled through and is healed up now. I wanted to try to slowly reintroduce her to the flock but my coworker doesn't want her back. She is the sweetest thing, she likes to perch on my shoulder while I'm gardening. She seems to have some sort of neurological condition that affects her walking. She rarely walks, and when she does, she kind of steps on her own feet. When she got attacked, she would just lay down and let them peck her to death. When she's scared she just freezes in place. I guess I am just wondering what to do next. I imagine she'll get lonely being all by herself, but I don't know if/how to add another chicken to my flock so I at least have 2. If that's the case, do I bring in a chick or a grown hen? Also, she seems to be in her 'teenage' years so she's not producing yet.
Thanks in advance for your help!
