Hello everyone. First time posting and first time chicken owner. I've acquired some hens and roosters from all different homes and have one hen who was rescued from another flock that is being over bred. So much so that she runs out of the coop and flies over the fence to hang out in the garage.
Not sure how old this particular hen is but she came to me already pretty battered. She is also very small compared to the other females. I have two roosters. One is about a year old and the other is 9 months old. I also have 4, 2 year old hens and 2, 9 month old hens. All hens lay except for the 9 month olds.
I'm OK letting her stay in the garage and carrying her back to the coop at night but not sure if I'm doing more harm than good.
Getting rid of her is not an option for me. She is so sweet and friendly.
Any suggestions or ideas? I appreciate it in advance.
