How's Meredith? She's doing okay. It's been almost two weeks since the gray fox attack. She has been confined to the coop except for an hour or so on weekends when I have the time to supervise her strolling. She is still considered free range since she has the run of the coop any time she wants. Meredith is not as fearless as she once was. Pamela will come out of the coop first now and that Never used to happen. She still has a mostly bare butt. New feathers are starting to appear. The new feathers looks really sharp and pokey. I still find more loose feathers in the run every day. The fox pulled many feathers completely out but it must have loosened others too. She hasn't laid any eggs since the incident and that is fine. Her body needs all her energy to heal herself. She doesn't need to spend any calories laying eggs right now. Right now she is enjoying some fresh water and sliced cucumber. I know, I know. She is spoiled. Ok, I gave her some fresh strawberries too but they were a little past their prime.
