New Chickens! She’s wild!

[4 Georgia Hens]

Today we pick up a new hen! She came from a free ranging family, basically 0 human interaction. I am letting her cool down for a while, then I intend to move her to a coop. I will interact with her as much as I can, but other than give her treats is there anything else that I can do to encourage her to be friendly?

What breed is she? Photos

A lot depends on your definition of "friendly".
Some hens don't like to be touched at all, but will eat treats from the hand, others don't mind being picked up. I let mine decide what level of interaction they want. For the most part, mine just like to follow me around chatting, I only have one adult that really seems to enjoy being picked up.

For your new hen, sit down next to her cage/enclosure, talk to her, give treats, etc. see how it goes.

Are you going to integrate her into your existing flock or will she have her own coop?

Why just one bird?
Single bird integrations can be the hardest.

So might this....
Integration Basics:
It's all about territory and resources(space/food/water).
Existing birds will almost always attack new ones to defend their resources.
Understanding chicken behaviors is essential to integrating new birds into your flock.

Confine new birds within sight but physically segregated from older/existing birds for several weeks, so they can see and get used to each other but not physically interact.

In adjacent runs, spread scratch grains along the dividing mesh, best if mesh is just big enough for birds to stick their head thru, so they get used to eating together.

The more space, the better. Birds will peck to establish dominance, the pecked bird needs space to get away. As long as there's no copious blood drawn and/or new bird is not trapped/pinned down and beaten unmercilessly, let them work it out. Every time you interfere or remove new birds, they'll have to start the pecking order thing all over again.

Multiple feed/water stations. Dominance issues are most often carried out over sustenance, more stations lessens the frequency of that issue.

Places for the new birds to hide 'out of line of sight'(but not a dead end trap) and/or up and away from any bully birds. Roosts, pallets or boards leaned up against walls or up on concrete blocks, old chairs tables, branches, logs, stumps out in the run can really help. Lots of diversion and places to 'hide' instead of bare wide open run.

Hey yal! I think that we may not keep her. She isn’t the breed that was advertised and she really won’t fit in with our farm. But, she did lay an egg that I believe is fertilized! At her old home, she was LOVED by the 5 Roos. I’m trying to get one of my chickens to go broody... We shall see..
