I posted another thread about my situation, but focused it mainly on the predator situation. I’m hoping to get some help regarding my hen that survived.
Friday, three of my four chickens died due to a fox. I have one left and we’re getting a hen around the same age for her soon. I know how important the quarantine process is, but this would mean both of them would be completely alone for a month.
Would it be possible to build a makeshift barrier inside the run so they can see each other, but still remain separated? This means that if this hen comes with any problems that it could spread to mine. I don’t want to risk that, but I don’t want mine to be completely lonely for a month, for I’m scared she would start becoming depressed.
Unfortunately I’m not at home to spend a lot of time with her because I’m still attending school and don’t have a lot of free time outside of school.
Any advise?
