You can't blame her for not being too friendly after going through that as a chick. I wonder why the others did that.

Are you going to put fake eggs in their "egg nests" to give them the hint? My neighbor use to do that with hers.

I don't think they intend to be mean-spirited. They pick kind of as a past-time and out of curiosity and it doesn't amount to much unless it draws blood - then it's red (and maybe smells) then that is attractive. From there you can't leave the chick with the others. You have to take them out and heal them up before putting them back. Problem is if it takes too long to heal - then they get left behind socially. That's why I put another chick in with her when she was in solitary :-)

I'll put eggs in the nest if they need help figuring out where to lay. I have som easter eggs I am going to fill with sand. Hopefully they will figure it out for themselves.
