Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: Why is hen excluding herself from group

 

What a great chicken mom you are!!!!! If you have the room to cage the most aggressive hens up for a five to six days, separately if you can do it. I'd do it. Really upset the pecking order. I'd put all on poultry vitamins while they are going thru this because it is a form of stress.

Nearly a month later,...
"sick hen" as we've been calling her made it through the awful pox. Man, I didn't know it would get that nasty. Last night I put her on the roost with the others and today was a tough day for her. They are giving her a difficult re-introduction. Pecking, chasing, blocking food and water, and generally making her life miserable. She did make it on the roost tonight where as before she was forced to roost somewhere else. I hope that in the next 4 days they will warm up to her and accept her back in. If not I hate to think about what I'll have to do with this loner especially since I spent so much time and $$$ nursing her back to health.
