My white rock hen a.k.a chompy was attacked a little over a week ago by our puppy. He has since found a happy new home that is chickenless. The pen part of her feathers have grown back and the wound is closed. I was wondering if the other chickens would pick on her if she is reintroduced with her pink skin showing? It's no problem to keep her confined but she seems to be unsatisfied in her "cell". Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
Chickens can be merciless, that's for sure. They may indeed go after the pink skin. There is something called Blue Kote that is a wound dressing - it is said to deter chickens from picking at the wounds on other birds as it has an unpleasant taste. Good luck to you!
