Lonely girl?

[Nichole77]

So I was given a cute little pullet but she has no friends. My small flock is established and set in their ways. They didn't accept the 2 little cockerels ( that were supposed to be pullets). So this one is all alone. Will se be ok or do I get her a friend? And if I get her a friend will she accept it? Thanks

She might...or you could have yourself a house chicken...hint hint...

I totally thought of that.

If you have a seperate area where your lonely pullet is, can you add one of the "nicer" gals from the established group with her? Then maybe add one more once they are good together? Sometimes going slow will help. This could take a little while but may be the way it will work.

Any other input folks?

Chickens are very social. She definitely needs a chicken friend.

How old is she? Can you find a pullet near her age to introduce her to?

I have no experience with house chickens (mine are only in the house as chicks) so I can't address whether she would need a chicken friend in that situation, but I'd still think so.
