I made my daily trip out to care for the chickens and found one of y three and a half year old with her comb just barely hanging.

I brought he in to the screen porch where I have a wire crate. She acts like they wouldn't let her eat. She has a feeder and a waterer and I will add a nest for her later and give her a perch.

I put blue kote on the top of her head. I left the comb attached till I could get some guidance.

I managed to get two pictures which I have attached.

I can't make out from the pictures, but if her comb is barely hanging, I would remove it completely. Then apply silver nitrate or corn starch to the wound.

It is attached just above the beak

I put the pictures in again. They can be enlarged. Hope you can tell better.
