Best way to clean some minor peck wounds

[GeneticFreak]

Hi Folks, my one hen is missing some chest feathers from being broody. Another hen or two is starting to peck at the open spots and I see some minor red blood dots, which is making things worse. Can you let me know what is the best way to clean this area prior to putting some medication on the open area? Thank you in advance.

A little soapy water works well.

Agree with Texas Kiki..... a little soapy water, rinse with plain water. Don’t use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol!
