The hens have been off antibiotics for 3 days now, and I've let them out to roam the past 2 afternoons. They are very excited to escape the confines of the coop, although they stay pretty close to it!
I have gotten 3 eggs/day the past two days, and the feathers are starting to grow back!!! The gash Buff has on her neck and the gash Daisy has on her back between her wings have scabbed over and are healing nicely.
I can't believe Buff and Daisy (mostly Buff) survived that brutal attack and are on their way to making a full recovery! Buff's ankles are still swollen, so not sure about that one.
I got these hens as dual purpose hens - 2 years to lay then into the freezer. My neighbor (the one who helped patch up the hens the night of the attack) told me "if they survive you CANNOT eat them!" Damn... ; )
