Easter Egger

Easter Egger had her wings plucked by another bird.  I'm not sure who the bully was, but it got so bad that I pulled her into the crate in the mud room a week or two ago and took these pictures.  We sprayed Blue-Kot on her, which is a medicine for wounds on animals. 

You can see broken feathers and some missing

Now, a few weeks later, the blue is almost all gone and we saw new feather growth.  Yesterday, after I took these pictures, I let her out of the crate to join the flock.




She went straight to the first spot she could find and started digging for bugs.



So far she's done well with the flock so I think she'll be fine.
