    UPDATED (Feb 3, 2012): Injured young hen [Warning: Graphic images.]

    No pictures today, but I do owe you all an update. Kinda late though, eh? Sorry about that! Lena is doing great! She was moved to a new 4x1 raised pen in December so that she could start her reintroduction. She started laying again a few weeks ago and for the past couple weeks she has only...

    UPDATED (Feb 3, 2012): Injured young hen [Warning: Graphic images.]

    I replaced the camera's batteries, so now I can be more flexible with how many pictures I take. She's doing very well. Eating well, drinking well, defecating well... pecking well. I have scratches on my hands. No egg today, which is what I hoped for since I wanted her to stop laying until she...

    Update! She's still alive and is doing well in my opinion. Defecated a few times, all of which looked healthy. I've been keeping her in relative darkness most of the day (using a fake fireplace to heat the room, so it provides a little bit of light from the "flames"). I just checked on her...

The affected flesh is changing colour very quickly, and it looks like it's the colour of healing (and dying where...

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I've cleaned her as thoroughly and gently as possible with lukewarm water and hydrogen peroxide. I noticed she was still bleeding so I've added some white flour to help clot it (I remember reading that somewhere months ago; if newer information...

    UPDATED (Feb 3, 2012): Injured young hen [Warning: Graphic images.]

    This young hen's tail was completely savaged today by her flock. Her tail is completely gone, there's blood all over, and something fleshy is sticking out. Her rear end is now drooping to the ground. I can barely see anything for flesh and blood. I have her in the basement shower right now (it's...
