Polish hen stays in corner

[Jeff France]

Hello, I was given two beautiful Polish roosters, I bought a Polish hen last night with hopes of hatching her fertilized eggs, but she stays in the corner. How can I help her be more sociable?

Hello, I was given two beautiful Polish roosters, I bought a Polish hen last night with hopes of hatching her fertilized eggs, but she stays in the corner. How can I help her be more sociable?

A few questions:
- did you have any other chickens before you were given the roosters? If so, how many, and what ages?
- how old are the boys? (cockerels = <1 year, roosters = 1 year and older)
- how old is the girl? (pullets = <1 year; hens are 1 year and older)
- are the boys trying to mate with her?

If she’s the only female, she might be completely terrified. 2 roos to 1 hen is a disaster, leading to overmating and perhaps death.

Yes, I have 7 pullets, less than a year old not laying yet, I believe the two Polish roosters are over a year old, the Polish hen, no idea her age, the boys are trying to mate with her, so she might be the only pullet of age? They don't seem to be mating with the other pullets. Are you thinking I need to put a couple of hens in with them?

Is she penned alone with two roosters?
