Damaged nare/nostril

[Cryllc82]

Hi there. This evening I noticed one of my hens has a chunk missing from her nostril on one side. It is fairly dirty as you can see but it doesn't appear infected or weeping. I think another hen probably did it to her. Should I be worried about this injury? And that part will probably not regrow?

It may heal eventually, but I would clean it with a little peroxide once and a QTip. Or use Vetericyn on it to clean it up.

Thank you! I have some Vetirycin and will try this

Can you give us an update later to see if it heals?

Yes I will! I was just shocked, she is a very sweet chicken so that makes her a target at times
