Reintroducing chicken into the flock

[Countrylife19]

Hi I have a barred rock chicken. She was unable to walk ate some plants she shouldn't have. She was kept in the house for a while was doing a lot better so I put her in the infirmary where she can see all the others but they cant interact physically. She is doing really well 95 percent normal. I tried to reintroduce her to the flock twice and has not gone well. They are fine outside together at night but once they get in the coop the others get aggressive and start attacking her. I don't know what to do I want her to be with her sister hens but I'm afraid someone will get hurt. A couple of them bled because of the fighting. Please help!

If possible, make a fenced up area where the birds can see each other but not physically touch. Do that for a couple days and then slowly put her back in.

You don't want to add extra stress on the hen since she just recovered. Small fights will occur as they're just trying to establish there "pecking order". But a fight where it draws blood should be taken seriously.

Hopefully, everything will work out. Keep us posted!

Try putting one of the less aggressive sisters in the infirmary with her.
Let them bond then try the reintro.
