Hi, I have had chickens for 8 years, and have very slowly built up my flock to 13 hens. All of a sudden today I heard a real commotion from the hen run, and a number of hens were attacking one hen. It was cowering, and bleeding on it's head. I removed it, spayed blue antibiotic spray on the wound, and left it wondering round the garden. It appears to be eating and drinking alright. When I tried to put it back, the whole flock were wanting to peck at it or attack. Really nasty. So I have separated it for now, but still in view of the others. Any ideas what to do next and what might of caused this? Not had anything like this before.
