Went to put my girls in last night and one girl was in the corner on the floor keeping to herself. I got her out and she had blood all over her head. I immediately assumed another pecker her eye or head. I brought her in the house to get her warm and cleaned up and could fine NO visible injuries, I was puzzled. The only thing that possibly could have explained the blood was a barely visible almost split at the back of her comb. But it seemed too small of an injury to bleed that much. She was covered - her head, chest, and back of neck.
She seems ok now, is eating a little and drinking. I kept her in the house last night to let her rest and heal from whatever is happening. Her comb is very pale. Is this from blood loss? Would a small hairline split in her comb bleed that much? Should I be looking for anything else?
I provided her fresh water, her regular crumble, some apple, and a scrambled egg.
To rule out the blood transferring someone else's injury I checked all the others in the coop for injuries and found none.
