How long can a hen be alone?

[wynncreations]

My flock went from 3 to 1 due to a dog. The local hardware stores dont have chicks and I cant really order online(cant meet their min order size). How long can my one buff orp be the lone flock member without having negative effects?

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about your birds.
Not sure how long they can be alone as they are social. Maybe try checking craigslist to see if anyone is selling?
Hopefully someone else can give you some better answers.

Hey! This question is going to sound weird but I might be able to give you one of my beautiful birds if you are in the area! Are you anywhere in Oregon?

Look in the forum for Texas and see if anyone has any chicks or chickens in your area.
