4 days since removal from severe pecking. What resilient little animals!

Have not been a chicken person, but this little one is wrapping me around her little toe, talon, whatever. Lol.
This is Roz. She is one of 5 chickens and was obviously being pecked on an extreme level.

She is part of a small flock with my daughter’s mom. We have all been worried about her and while I didn’t see her every day to this point, she has really started bonding and I think even healing. Her energy is way up, for sure a personality is starting to come through, (funny and goofy) and she is a HUGE fan of grapes, blueberries, and cucumbers.

She even came into my lap the last couple days!!!

We are using a poultry specific antimicrobial spray from TS on her wounds and giving her a ton of love and interaction since she is not with any other chickens right now, getting a good 4-5 hours a day to free range with one of us with her all the time. (Yay remote work)

Any other tips and tricks to help her move along? Also, I have seen so many different time frames before reintroducing her to an adjoining run and cage that mom is getting together.

Thanks!
