Wow!! That's amazing! Great job. I would make sure there's no red anywhere (with or without a chicken saddle) before she's in contact with other chickens. They will pick on anything red. I would also recommend getting her a chicken saddle to protect the site. I like the Hen Saver brand...

It looks as good as one can hope for! Definitely keep going with the hydrogel. Once she's got the skin closed up, I would recommend using a hen saddle on her to protect the site from picking by other chickens until/if her feathers grow back. I know that's a ways in the future, but most hens...
