'Henning' Back to Normal

It’s just been over two weeks since the dogs attack on the chickens.  And everything is going smoothly in the new coop.  The 4 injured chickens (3 hens and 1 rooster) are recovering well.  They stayed inside our bathroom (in the tub) for a week so we could take care of their wounds.  They've been in the chicken coop for over a week now but still isolated inside a cage.

The two black Australorp hens were the most injured I didn’t expect they were going to survive but they did.  The one had a big hole on her side where you could see the internal organs moving.  I was just about to finish her when I saw her but my husband didn’t let me.  Below's the video of the two injured hens.

 

The Chantecler rooster was badly hurt I was also ready to bury him. But luckily my husband wanted to give him a chance. And look at him now (see video below).  The hen on the left is a Brahma mix breed.  She's also ready to mingle with the rest but we're just being cautious.

 

 

 

Feeding carrots, beets and apple roughage to Mr. Roo ( I call all roosters like that by the way).  He's one of the 6 'bad' roosters who are completely separate from the hens. 

Mr Roo (in the middle of crowing) and his harem.  Well there's 2 roosters here.  The other one is on the top left of this picture but that one with red comb is the king of the harem.  I've allowed only the 2 most gentle roosters to live with the hens.

Those 6 black birds (Australorps) are recent addition to our chicken flock since the dogs attack.  They tend to hang around with each other.  It is true, birds of the same feather flock together.

These two young hens are also recent addition to the flock.  They are very timid and shy and very afraid to mingle with the rest.  These are the 3-tired nest boxes inside the new chicken house.  Notice the egg on the far right.

This is one of our henny pennies (meaning one of the original 7 free hens we got earlier this year).  One of the 7 died from the dog-attack

This is a gentle rooster that's why he's with the hens.  It has feathers on its feet.  One day another rooster must have mistaken him as a hen and started mounting him.  Apparently that happens between roosters to show dominance.

Also one of the very shy young hens.
