I've integrated new chickens before, but this would be a single chicken. Our city's animal shelter has had this one hen for several weeks now. She was found wandering on someone's property. A friend-of-a-friend just contacted me about taking her because they know I've rescued hens before (in other words, I'm a sucker). The hen has been seen by a vet and wormed. She's been in a cage for over a month. She looks like a Sebright.
I'm like: you're killing me, here...
My current flock is 11 hens of varying sizes and breeds, the oldest being approx 6 years and the youngest 4 months. I also have 1 bantam rooster and 4 female ducks. I have room (80 sq ft coop with 700 sq ft of run/yard space).
Advice? Thoughts? Opinions?
