Hello,


when I went to the coop this morning noticed that one of my hen was sitting in the corner of the coop bleeding it is right above the scaly part of the leg. I don't now how to wrap it sense it is berried in feathers. Any ideas on how to help????

thanks

I would bring her inside and wash the blood off to see how bad it is. Dry her feathers if you get her wet. See if the cut keeps bleeding or not. Then put some antibiotic ointment on her. maybe a little gauze and hold in place with vet wrap is she keeps bleeding. If she stops on her own, just the ointment and monitor to be sure other chickens aren't pecking at her when she goes back to the coop.
