An equally easy to prepare and eat treat with more nutritional value would be scrambled egg. You might want to offer that, too.

Will do

The bitten hen drank a fair amount last night. The shocked hen is sort of drinking this morning.
I think she's coming out of shock. She's trying to run away again.
I will make both hens scrambled eggs and oatmeal. I have chick feed which I will give them for higher protein.

The bitten hen has a good appetite and good energy.
The Australorp has zero interest in any food or water whatsoever. She doesn't care about scrambled eggs and I can't even get her to so much as check out any water. I still haven't tried oatmeal or chick feed so we'll see how that goes.
I have a hunch she will take more care than the other one. She also has not passed a single stool yet. The other hen has pooped, and it looks normal.

No

My chickens will eat moistened chicken feed and scrambled egg even if they have already eaten and are full. I am not sure why you would feed oatmeal over wet chicken feed, especially after the article about the bad effects of feeding oatmeal.

Yes!
I would prefer you fed her an egg instead of oatmeal.

Sounds as if the one is out of the woods, and the second at least is not going down hill. Hopefully they continue to improve.

I did give egg. I haven't fed oatmeal today.
Oatmeal every once in a while is fine.
