Those pictures are great! Nice healing! Goldie's feet look awesome.
If Goldie is shivering (scared?) . Will she take treats during her dressing changes? Is she eating? Nobody I've done yet has refused bread when I work on their foot.
I don't know if this works but probably does, to cover their face during the procedure. It's supposed to keep them calm. Some handle pain better than others. My roo actually plays dead or starts gasping. Talking to him helps him calm down. And the dressing changes help because they have been caught there's no pain involved.
With my bottom-of-the-totem pole hens, I usually just make sure that they get a lot of treats at treat time. I had one time that a group of chickens were ganging up on one of my Polish, and she went to live in with my silkies.
As long as she's not acting sick.
