Bleeding leg

[Silkie Princess]

Help! My silkie roosters leg is bleeding a lot. It looks like he cut himself on a loose piece of chicken wire. His flockmates kept pecking at him so I separated him. He pants and clucks a lot but that is probably because he is by himself. How do I stop the bleeding? Thanks!


( He has a bad case of scaly leg mites)

I believe there's a broken blood feather. I see this alot with mine.

Usually I do not have to intervene. But you can pluck the feather, & wash off the blood, & apply some Triple Antibiotic ointment to it.

Thanks! I will do that

Thanks! I will do that

You're welcome.

Make sure you locate the right feather, before plucking it?

One thing is you may need to hold some pressure to stop any bleeding that maybe still there after the plucking process.
