One of my hens was attacked by the new roo. He really got her good. There is a gash about an inch square on the back of her neck. I have isolated her and put iodine on the gash. This has worked well for our dogs in the past. She is drinking and eating and tolerating me holding her which is somewhat unusual. I'm pretty sure she's hurting but doesn't think it is as bad as it looks to me. Is there anything else I should do for her?
 
nope you did everything that could have been done let her heal...get some blu coat for when you re introduce her...but i would keep her away from the rest until it is healed so they dont peck her
 
update!

My hen is doing great! The Blu Kote is amazing, outside of getting blue on everything!
She wants to be let out of her isolation booth so she can hang out with the rest of her friends.
I'm going to let her heal for a couple more days before I risk it, but she seems like she's going to be just fine!
