I'm sorry that you have another one. Sounds like she's healed up, but it's always a good idea to evaluate and see if she needs some extra care. As for the coop, do some research on ventilation and take a look at your setup. I think we all have things that we've had to tweak or change over...

At that age pullets will challenge cockerels or other pullets, so I would deem that completely normal. He's a "newbie" so he'll have to navigate the flock for a bit, but if he's the only cockerel, he'll likely be fine, pullets/hens won't do much more than try to give him the stare down.

Is he the only cockerel? I'm glad that he's doing well enough to begin the process of re-joining the flock.

I think it's looking pretty good! Those toes must be tasty! He'll figure out the dust bath thing eventually (when you're not watching):)

Are you asking about the laying down, scooting and flapping of the wings and pecking at the floor? That behavior looks like an attempt to dust bath. How old is this little cutie? Quite a comb there, I'm wondering if this is a cockerel! The foot does look a little puffy which may be normal...

Possible. By throwing up, I assume she's spitting up water/soupy feed? Are you providing a source of grit (crushed granite) for her while she's been isolated? If not, then I would offer her a little grit, let her take a few pieces if she's keen to do so, then take out the grit. Realistically...

That tickles me that she ate it!🤣 @Allsfairinloveandbugs what do you think? Trim the hanging toe? If it's really just by a tiny thread of skin, I think I would. Swab it well with Chlorhexidine, then cut the string of skin. Maybe you can grab the toe before she eats that one too!😂 I have to...

Progress!:)

:caf Thank you for continuing with the photos and updates. This will be helpful. I still think you are doing all the right things. I'm hopeful that she doesn't lose too much, but time will tell.

Poor little thing. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. How much of the foot she keeps is yet to be seen. You may find the thread by @Allsfairinloveandbugs helpful. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/matilda-is-going-to-lose-her-feet.1454933/
