I have a poor hen that has been beaten up pretty badly and I am not sure how to treat her. I got her from someone when she was already laying and she was always missing a few tail feathers. She came with 2 others that I have been successful in getting their feathers back. However, 2 days ago I went to feed and she was bleeding and missing a lot of feathers. I have pulled her inside but she hasn't laid an egg since and I am not sure how to clean her wounds. I have read a lot of posts on here but I am still a little confused. Some of the things I do know:
I do not have any mites or lice, I have treated for it and all of my other chickens are nice and fluffy.
She is one of my originals and has never been beaten like this before. I do have 1 bantam rooster but he has been in the coop since he was a chick and has never caused any problems before. I recently discovered my silkie is a rooster, (I am new to chickens) and I did witness him trying to mount one of my others the other day.
Should I give her a bath? or put something on her wounds?
She actually has dried blood on her comb and neck
