They will not get along! Help ASAP!

[HollyB_987]

I have a new chicken that I am introducing to my flock. I have done all the stuff that they tell you to do online like keeping her isolated for 30 days introducing her at night all kinds of stuff but they will still attack her. When she tries to get of the perch for food and water they attack! I am worried that she will get dehydrated! So do you have any tips on how to help them get along? Thanks!

Oh, the poor hen!
I have one like that, she always need to be separated from the flock. I can never leave her alone with them. Not sure how to introduce her.

Have you tried putting her on one side of a divider where they can see her but can't attack here for a few days?

Also, this would get more and better responses over here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/managing-your-flock.2/

Yes I actually had her like that for a long time and even when they where like that they would fight through the chicken wire!

Welcome!
It is hardest to bring one hen into an established flock, and I feel very sorry for this bird.
Some background information would be helpful here; how many chickens do you have, pictures and dimensions of your coop and run, and how many feeders and waterers?
Maybe there will be a workable solution, or maybe she needs to leave, and consider introducing several at once, not a lonely hen next time.

Ok I have 3 food containers and 3 water containers. I have 1 roster and 8 hens. I don’t know the dimensions sorry but here are the pics.

Let me know if you need anything else.

I would try adding just one quiet hen to her separate area, and see if they will get along; then maybe another before putting all 3 in with the flock.

I will try that and see how it goes!
