my 9 week chick was attacked by something. Now has a broken wing blood feather. Not bleeding but wondering if will heal on own. Or should I pull which I don’t think I can do Hate hurting her. Any suggestions?
 
As long as the bleeding is stopped you don't have to pull the feather. Just make sure it doesn't become a pecking target. Once in a while it happens that one will be very hard to stop the bleeding, I pull those. Usually pressure for a few minutes or a dab of corn starch will help stop bleeding. Broken feathers are usually replaced at the next molt, so it may be that way for awhile.
