Hello! I have an adult hen that is healing from a broken leg. This week it will be 1 month, the leg has been splinted and she goes back for an X-ray this week. We’ve kept her separate, with another older hen, from the rest of the flock as she heals. The hens in the rest of the flock seem fine with her, we’ve let them interact under supervision but I’m worried about the 2 roosters. I’m worried about them chasing her and mounting her and hurting the leg. Any tips for reintroducing? Has anyone had a break heal successfully? Can she even be with roosters after this?
