    Chicks hatched, now what? Forgot to mention...

    How quickly do you have to remove bleeding hen??

    chickens do have a tendancy to pick at another if it is bleeding. 5 1/2 weeks is still pretty young. I would separate her for a few days, maybe you can put a dog carrier for a few days till she heals up.
