Introducing brooding hen back to flock

[patty pat]

I have tried to put a hen back in the flock now that her chicks are about three weeks. The other hens immediately start to attack her. What do I do?

You can try letting them see eachother without the main flock being able to get to her, and after a while once they get used to her you can try putting them all together.

that's odd. my dad's broody always attacks the others if they get within 10 ft of her chicks. none of the other hens can get near her without her being on top of them. the rest of the time she's a sweetie. go figure. mama gone crazy! sorry i know this is no help to you.
