How long do chickens "remember" each other for?

[sydney1497]

Hello,

I have a hen on a course of antibiotics, but I need to leave town for a couple days. I am planning on bringing the hen with me (along with another one that I just discovered is getting bullied and has drawn blood on her comb). If they are gone from their coop for 2 or 3 days, is this enough time for the chickens to "forget" them and mess up the whole pecking order? Or if I bring them back after a few days, will everything pick up where they left off? As for the bullied hen, I am planning on making some homemade blu-kote (I just don't want to leave her alone with the bullies quite yet).

Thank you!

If you put the 2 sickly birds back in at night, the rest of the flock won't even remember they were ever gone.
