I rescued a hen that was abandoned 6 weeks ago. I have read a bunch of articles on here that have really helped me a lot. I have tried a number of different approaches. Finally got the other girls to allow her to sleep in the coop but not on the roost.this morning when I went to let them out, I found her sleeping on the roost with the other girls! Success! ( They still chase and peck at her back periodically. But they have been letting her eat at the feeder at the same time!) So very happy to see this progress, I was very leery introducing one lone hen into my existing flock. But it seems to be working... To anyone else considering this, be patient it can be done.
Great job! I'm sure she'll continue to become more comfortable in the flock with time!
