Did I make a mistake? I had to rehome two accidental roosters, and was given a hen that is the same age as my flock of 5 girls.
I had her in a dog cage against the main run, and they seemed interested but weren’t acting up. She was terrified and trying to get in with them, slamming herself into the sides of the cage. The farmer I did the trade with, said that it shouldn’t hurt to put her in with the girls. I did that, and they’re pecking her. Nothing too bad, the pecking doesn’t last long and there’s no blood or feather picking. She seems to be staying by herself, though. Should I try to separate her again?
First time having chickens!
