Hello!
Could use some ideas on how to get a loner pullet reintegrated with her flock.
Last Wednesday a raccoon broke in an attacked my group of 6 ten week old birds. They were in a separate pen/ coop from my two older hens. It came in at night, and by time I got out there, it had already beheaded 2 and injured a third.
I was able to nurse that one back to health, but it has been difficult trying to re-introduce her to her flock mates. The older hens and her original flock-mates have been attacking her brutally, and she’s already been through a lot. Any ideas on how to ease the transition?
