Comb injured! Will it heal?

[Wyandottes7]

I let one of my cockerels out today with the hens so that he could get some practice mating them, as I am going to breed them this fall, and he is a bit awkward and clumsy (he hasn't gotten the hang of jumping on top of them/holding on). He mated one of my pullets, and, in the process, injured her comb. She has a rose comb, and he gouged out a small piece of the top. Its just a small injury (a little more than 1/16 of an inch square, and even less deep), but the flesh is missing. The bleeding wasn't bad, and she's fine now (no chickens are picking on her as far as I know). However, my question is, will this heal? Will one part of her comb always be sunken in slightly because its missing a piece of skin/flesh? Or, will it heal and look smooth and even again? Thanks in advance!

When a piece of comb is bitten or torn off it will never grow back. It will scab over and heal to a point but only a portion of the comb that was there will appear, if at all. On growing birds the comb may grow back but on older ones, nope.

Yikes, hope she heals quickly!

Those young boys can be a real nuisance. My coro sussex pulled one of his hens comb's so hard that it became unattached half way along. There was a lot of blood, but it has healed now. We now call her flopsy.
