Hen's comb partly peeled.

I have a bantam cochin, and when I was holding her, I noticed some hardened blood at the back of here comb. Upon further inspection, I found that a little bit of her comb peeling. What should I do??

Pics would help.

Might just be a pecking injury, but it might have gotten cut on something. Does it look infected? If not, it'll probably heal on it's own.

It does not, so that's good.

Two things you might consider- if she gets bullied and if there is anything she might be hurting herself on. I have a hen who hurt her comb when sticking her head through a fence when foraging in my yard. I blocked the hole, and that was that.
