re-integrating hen to flock-REJECTED!

User
10 years ago

I have a hen that had been severely injured by my roo's spurs. She's larger than most of the others and was mid-to-high in the pecking order. She's all healed up now, and re-integrating her has been difficult. Seems 2 of the other hens want to kill her. Every time the roo mounts her, the other 2 try to pick her eyes out. I had another hen killed this way, by other hens, a while back, so I remove her when this begins. They ALL got along fine before this happened. The 2 that go after her are not known for being this way, and the flock in general is quite docile. Why is this hapening, and what can I do?
