I accidentally hurt my chicken, I think. I was trying to pick her up to dust her for lice and she flapped her wings and made a horrible sound. Now she won't come near me. She is skittish anyway and the bottom of the pecking order.
The rest of the chickens peck her but not to the point of drawing blood. She might be hurt because she stands in the corner away from everything now. She doesn't walk like she is hurt but it kills my heart. She is my favorite one, though I love them all.
Will she ever come around me again and if so how long will it take? Please help.
PS. They are about 6 months old and they all had lice. I have only had them a couple of months.
