9 today. I opened up 3 more nest boxes today because the girls have been fighting over the 3 they had. My barred rock was bleeding from her comb so I imagine one of the other girls pulled her out of the nest box by the comb.
One of my chickens had her comb ripped by a young rooster and it bled quite a bit. I isolated her for a few days, applied neosporin. The injury affected the shape of her comb quite a bit. It looks sort of like a rose comb when it should be a straight comb.

I think my girl will heal up pretty quick. I put some hen healer cream on it. It didn’t look like much damage. The feeder looked like a crime scene because she wiped her comb against it as she was eating. I guess at least I know she is eating.

I suppose the damage could have been from one of the cockerels but it was on the front of her comb like somebody got her face to face. I assume if it was one of the boys they would have been on her back and got the rear of the comb.
