Hi I have had chickens for about 6 years, I am desperate need of some advice. My beloved Queenie girl passed on Sunday and I have one 5 1/2 yr old barred rock I call big mama. She have never been the friendly chicken she won’t let you touch her or hold her she will eat out of your hand. I loved all my chickens but I just can’t get anymore it is heart breaking when they die. I would like to keep big mama and give her a good life for the remainder of her time here, i have read people have kept single chickens and I know they are flock animals and belong with other chickens. I have asked a few people but because of her age and she doesn’t lay they say no, closest sanctuary is 5 hours away. I do have a dog she hangs with and I’m out there with her only time she is alone in at night, and then with winter I’m to sure the extent of time I will be able to do if the weather is bad. Please give me advise, I want to do what’s best for her.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. They are not solitary creatures, are you able to keep at least one other?
