I have a silver wyandot that was pecked by one of my other chickens on the ear. She has a small peice of skin hanging. The bleeding stopped. I cleansed the area with warm water and peroxide and covered with betadine. I have 7 other chickens all different breeds. They don't seem to be bothering her at this time. Do I need to separate her from the flock? Please help first time chicken owner!
 
You've done the right thing. Don't use peroxide after the first day as it will kill new cell growth. Stick with the betadine after the first day.
I wouldn't separate her unless they keep pecking at it. They heal very quickly.
