Last chicken

[Newchickenguy84]

So over time I have lost chicken after chicken due to them leaving the yard. Anyway long story short without anyone telling me I need to do more securing of their coop. I have one chicken left and I've noticed she is lonely. However I am afraid if I just go get some chicks she would not accept them. If I do the normal introduction to a new flock it will take weeks before they are big enough. Any suggestion on how to speed that up or keep her happy. I was thinking a mirror but not sure how'd that work.

just pop the mirror at the base of a wall and secure so it can't fall over and she can see her reflection. You might even rig up a perch in front of it.
Remember to quarantine any new recruits - she's better off being lonely than infected

Brood the chicks in the coop, using a wire wall or crate.
Just having them nearby will distract and entertain her.
Then you can start physical integration at about 3-4 weeks.
