My one hen had her toes pecked on by another hen. Bleeding like crazy and the other hen after her because of the blood. Cleaned the the toes on each foot and used liquid bandage. Noticed yesterday they got her toes bleeding again so I left her out of the coop so the others won't peck at her. I know she has good places to hide for night so not worried there. Question is, will the toes heal on their own or should I try and wrap them?
And does anyone know where I can get those rose colored glasses that were made for chickens so they don't see the blood on another? Saw it on american pickers. But will my hen's toes heal up on their own? New to this first posting for chickens would appreciate any info.
 
Soak the hens feet in warm (not hot) epsom salts water for about 20 minutes. Then dry and put neosporin on the affected toes. Place gauze on the toes and wrap with duct tape and release her. Dont wrap it too tight. She and the other birds wont be able to pick it off. Wait a couple of days before unwrapping it. It should be healed by then, if not, repeat procedure.
