Comb sort of fell off a hen...

[fobesy]

My chicken Lee Lee was roosting in a tree and when she was waking up she jumped down and hit her head against the tree and her comb fell off... What should I do?!

Isolate/quarantine her, wash with peroxide if bleeding (soak a cotton ball or Q-tip), and follow with an antibiotic ointment. Keep isolated until it is healed over and signs of blood/scab are gone (a week or two) ... otherwise the other chickens might peck at her.

A dog crate is great for quarantine, lined with sawdust. Keep food and water accessible at all times.

My injured chicken kept laying while in quarantine after an injury!

Ok! Thanks for helping!
