Hey everyone!
I obtained a new chicken named Rover not to long ago. Right now, she's in a cage, inside the coop. She has a minor injury, do to pecking from the flock and it's healing nicely. My question is, when can I reintroduce her back to the flock? Her wound is just missing feathers, other than that it's healed. Instead of slowly reintroducing her, I was planning on putting her up on the roost at night. Does this method work? I know it's not magic, but I've read that everything settles down in about 3 days. Will the other chickens know it's Rover already?
All help is appreciated!
Thanks
