I rescued a Rhode Island Red hen that a dog attacked in my front yard. I live in a subdivision so I have no idea where the hen came from, although I have searched for an owner. It's been a week and she's healing (I took her to the vet and she got an antibiotic shot). She's got a hurt foot, and puncture wounds but I think she's going to make it! She's recovering inside in a big dog kennel for now, but when she's ready to go outside to a coop will she need a friend? Do I need to wait until she's entirely healed if so? I've had lots of pets but never a chicken so I could use some advice! Thank you!
