Maybe? It would probably help with the situation. Glad she's doing better!

Goppy is a healthy happy chicken, but I'm having troubles getting her integrated with our current flock, we have 2 hens and 3 roosters (we had 6 hens but they got killed ): ) we keep one rooster out of the pen he kinda just free roams the yard because the other roosters kicked him out. I've tried to put Goopy in with the flock but the roosters are relentless and they peck her to shreds. I was wondering if any of you guys have any tips of how to get her into the flock safely?

Hi, I'm glad she is doing better.

Sounds to me like you need to learn how to cull some roosters (even if that means just getting rid of them) or get quite a few more hens.

Look but don't touch for a good week or two and then adding her during the night to roost is good.

Yes, you can raise and integrate them... depending on your set up. Too little space equals a big headache. And there will still pecking order strife during introduction, as is par for the course.

Hen to rooster ratio suggested is usually 10 hens to 1 rooster. Otherwise the hens may be literally mated to death!

Really, it would be best if you decided what YOU want for your flock and work towards achieving that.
