Karen's Kluckers

Would my single chicken do better around human contact or by herself in her coop?

I started with chickens almost 4 yrs. ago (St.Patrick's Day is the cluckers bday). My husband wanted some since the neighbor next door had 3 so we purchased 6; and the neighbor added 3 more!
I live in Nebraska; the chickens are Rhode Island Reds and we kept them in a make shift coop in the garage.
Fast forward to today... I only have 1 chicken left. Her name is Sqaucker. Yesterday we lost 1. We lost the other 4 over the past yr.
I want to put her in the basement in her own room; and return her outside when winter is over. Here in Nebraska the weather has basically just started feeling like winter. It would save on the electric bill - (heat lamp) and she is sociable towards me.

Hello:frow
Welcome to BYC!!
So glad to have you here!!
Thanks for sharing your story!!
Sorry to hear about your loss.
If it was me I would search the Web(craigslist or your local feed store) or even on here for someone trying to re home a hen and get her a friend. They do better with their own. my mom rescued a hen and she was lonely so we find someone online selling hens about an hour from her and explained her story and they let us buy just one. She did much better with another hen around.
I hope you find a solution for her!
There are many people on here that are ready to help in anyway they can!
The learning center also has alot of great information on it as well!
Enjoy!:wee​
