One of my hens got a wound somehow--not sure if she got pecked or scratched herself, then got pecked or what (Don't have any roos). I've separated her but she is very unhappy (she keeps escaping the dog crate and running around my basement! Anyway, I've washed the wound and am dressing it w/ Neosporin, but dried blood is still visible on her wing. I can't get it completely clean--not sure if she keeps scratching it and creating new blood or not. Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions for healing it quickly so I can return her to the flock? Also, if it is just dried blood and not fresh, is it OK to put her back or will the others still peck at the wound? Thanks.

unless you see a big gash or hole, she should be fine with the others. Watch to see that they don't pick at her and keep the wound covered with ointment
GOOD LUCK!
