Hens comb bleeding for hours!!!

[oldhenlikesdogs]

Your older batch are getting hormonal at their age, so you can see more aggression as they sexually mature and begin to lay. It usually calms down after all are laying.

Combs can bleed excessively because birds shake their heads and start it all up again.

I would try to quietly observe your birds and see if you see anything going on.

you all were right. She did get pecked - by a RIR. Today her comb was bloody again.
Do you have any experience using chicken glasses? aka pinless peepers...aka poultry blinders??? I was thinking of ordering a pack of multicolored, that way I can tell one RIR from another. By the way, is there some kind of leg band or something that other folks use? I don't have a large flock at all, but there are three that look the exact same.
