Hen Head wound

[Fisher hen]

Hello Fellow Chicken Farmers,
New hen battled with resident rooster. Went from bad to worse. Two trips to the vets, glued first time, just left open second time. Now a gaping wound on top requires &500.00 in surgery. She is eating walking drinking and droppings just fine. In house now. Any suggestions, beyond surgery.

I would separate and flush with saline and apply triple antibiotic ointment.

She seems like a tough hen, I would try to get babies out of her..... assuming she will let a rooster mount her.

I’ve had this happen in integrating, what I did is I cleaned the wound and put a poultry wound spray on her daily, I also separated her
