Lonely chicken

[asteppa]

So thanks to this group we realized we had three cockerels and got rid of them. Now we have one lonely girl. Anything we can do to prevent her from getting depressed?

We bought 3 new babies today to start this process all over, hopefully with better luck this time. It will be awhile before they can be introduced to the bigger one though.

a mirror? people say that they like to be able to see them selves since they think its someone else ( never needed to try it personally) or have her near them, so she can see them and smell them but not hurt them . also keep her busy with toys, treats things to do etc

If you can split your coop and brood the chicks where the hen can see them it will make integration easier also.
