Solo chicken

That's good, it's really nice you care so much about her. So you can't get another hen at all?

Someone suggested looking on the rehoming site for CT - might have some luck there. Just didn’t want chicks this time of year

 

[SulkyBantam]

Yeah. But can't you just get a hen from a local feed shop/breeder quite cheap? Rehoming sites are the best but you can't always find what is right for you.

Good idea. Will check with feed store too

I'm so sorry for your loss!
Could you maybe do a started pullet? Something almost mature? Maybe that would be hard with winter coming up and introductions, just thought I'd throw that out there as an idea. I think everyone else's ideas are really great though. When two of our three died we ordered a couple of started pullets for her and it worked out well. We got ours from Murray McMurray.

I hate to rain on the parade, but I would expect you to loose the last one too. In my experience this has happened. Chickens are often not real long lived animals. If I got another chicken, I think I would try and get two or three. Or you may end up in the same place.

As for the house chicken idea, I don't think a bird that has lived outside all her life will be comfortable in a house situation. Chickens hate change.
