Newbie needs help on new hens

It is best to keep injured chickens isolated. Even if it is just curiosity, pecking at an injury just prolongs healing or worse. Don't separate her where she can't see the other chickens, however. Keep her out of harms way until you can't see any sign of the injury and it has completely healed.

A high protein diet will help bring those feathers back.

There will be problems now and then. There always are. But, it sounds to me like you are an attentive and conscientious caregiver. The birds are lucky and you should see improvements in their health and dispositions at a steady rate.

Best of luck.

Steve
