Peace, Love & Chickens ✌️
I went out his morning and about 1/4” to 1/2” of her comb is ripped back towards her beak. I rinsed with water, dabbed diluted betadine on it and then put triple antibiotic ointment on it. I have her “separated” from the other chickens but she can still see them and interact to an extent. How long does this take to heal?
She keeps shaking her head too which makes me cringe because I’m sure it can’t feel good. I Have a feeling my rooster did it while mating, but it could also have been a nasty hen I have. Should I wait until it’s healed completely to let co mingle again?
