Aloha gang! It has been 3 weeks since Mazie suffered the dog attack and a week since I wrote an update.
So Mazie's care this last week was to pretty much to leave her to her own devices with the roosters locked out of the run. I did lose her one time... but 45 minutes later I found her tucked away on the nest box weather wall ready for bed and she has acclimated herself a bit more everyday.
I rehomed a few roosters so my mini coop became available and Mazie used it to sleep and hang out a few times as it can be a fun place for the birds. I put in a medium/low seniority hen in with her the first night and the second and third night when she put herself to bed she scared everyone out. After that she has been hopping up to the roosts in the main coop. I just keep giving her good options and she keeps getting better. She is feeling weighty again and has feather growth.
Today the big news is she was roosting in the mini coop taking a rest and I see some of her scab has fallen off and the larger portion is lifted. Is that new skin I see under that scab???!!! Unbelievable.
