    Cochin with a mysterious and huge open wound. What do we do?

    In case anyone stumbles upon this thread in the future, here's a quick update: Our cochin is almost fully healed!

    This girl just started laying yesterday. We came out to our coop this morning and found her hiding out in the corner. We think she might have been broody and upset the other hens, but we don't see any blood on their beaks. Can anyone help us figure out what happened and if there is anything we...
