Separated Hen in Cold Weather?

[thefati]

Hi!

I am integrating a new Hen to my small flock of 4 and one of my hens bullied the new one. She wouldn’t let up and drew blood on the new hen’s comb. I isolated the bully and put blue kote on the comb. The other 3 seem to be doing ok with the new hen.

My question is should I let the isolated hen roost with the others at night? It’s going to be below freezing tonight and the isolation setup is some chicken wire under the coop in a corner. So there is zero protection from wind. She is protected from predators as the walls are 1-4” hardware cloth buried a foot out. I’m just worried about the cold.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any possibility of confining her to a crate in the coop for the night?

I don’t have a crate. I could set something else up tomorrow with chicken wire in the coop. For tonight I threw them all in the coop and I’ll go out tomorrow morning to isolate.
