I read on another chicken site that if you spray chickens with a vinegar and water mix spray, that it prevents them from fighting. Does anyone know if that's true? I put two of my pullets together who don't usually get along, sprayed them with the mix, and they seemed to not mind each other. Is that the spray, or could it be that one of them lost their sister and was just lonely? Any input would be great.

Maybe your hen was lonely. Never heard about the vinegar spray though. Maybe the vinegar covers a smell that offends other chickens and reduces hostility. Interesting.
