My bantam cochin has a broken feather on the bottom of her foot that was bleeding but isn't any more. I never saw it actively bleeding. Wouldn't have noticed it except my daughter was holding it and noticed when she had her on her back to "sleep" (lol).
If it's not causing her any issues or apparent pain, is it okay to just watch and wait? Or should I be proactive and wash the foot and remove the feather? The thought of pulling it out is really grossing me out. If I need to do it, I will, but has anyone had success letting it heal itself?
Thanks.
