Reintroduction

[Esmerelda01]

Good Morning!
I recently had to remove one of my girls from the flock due to a neck injury caused by one of my drakes. she is better and off meds so im trying to put her back outside and she is now fighting with EVERYONE. She is chasing the #1female in the flock and even fighting the boys. im reading to pull in another duck with her for a while and reintroducing them together and at night however she is fighing... everyone.
HELP!!

you can try putting her in a dog cage with the flock. In and out of the coop. For two weeks or however long, until she becomes comfortable around them.

When I have to reintegrate a bird, I treat it like I’m integrating a new bird to the flock, and use a see no touch method, where they can share a fence and spend time around one another before slowly letting them out into the flock under supervision. I’m not sure if it will work for your flock, since every flock is different, but it might be worth a try.

These are all ducks....no chickens involved?
