I added a new hen to my flock yesterday. I know you're not supposed to add only one, but it was add one, or lose the chicken. Most of the hens are okay with her being around, from what I've seen. Some chase her, but I believe that will subside in a week or two. My rooster is the problem. He chases her around and she's terrified of him. I actually used to own this hen, but we gave her away. Now we have her back, but it's been long enough that no one remembers her and her status is obviously gone.
She doesn't even want to go in coop with him in there. I had to put him outside to get her to go in. Should I discipline the roo? Or is his behavior normal?
Please help. Thanks!
