Bleeding Chick

[Benjelly]

I went to check on my chicks again, and another problem came upon my silkies again. This time, it’s forehead was missing feathers and it had a red tint. I suspect it may be aggression or it hit its head onto something, but for now, how can I help it heal?

Just treat it as you would a child running to you with a scratch or scrape. Swab it with a bit of peroxide, then smooth on some antibiotic ointment.

Peroxide inhibits new tissue growth, so only use it initially to clean the wound.
