My hen cut her leg, it's not that deep, it is bleeding though, I keep finding little cuts on her leg that look like a scale fell off, but this one is a long cut down her leg. What should i put on it? I will go pick up some Blue Kote tomorrow if the other hens start pecking at it or you think it is really needed. Please help!

Due to a little thing called chicken math, we now have 9 hens, about a year ago, we only started out with two! Our ladies nicknamed "the big hens" are  Lacey (Speckled Sussex), Lilly (BLR Wyandotte), Maizie (ISA Brown), Molly (Very Grumpy Barnevelder), Juliet (Silver Penciled Wyandotte), Delilah (Very Grumpy Welsummer), and the latest addition Lucy (Very Bossy Barred Rock).

You can clean it off with water and put a little neosporin on it.  if it is actively bleeding you may want to separate her from the others until it stops just to prevent the others from pecking at the wound

CHICKENS:to name just a few cochin, orpington,  OEG  also have: mute swans, geese, and cats

Ok, um now how do you put a gauze on her leg? it's too cold here to seperate her, though I wish we could.

She is doing great now! I rubbed some antibotic on the sore and I taped a gauze around her leg, put plastic wrap (like vet wrap?) over that and taped it on. She is so great, she hasen't pecked at it once!
