How Much a Tiny Wound in the Comb Can Bleed (Graphic Images)

On a related note- what a beauty he is. He reminds me of this bird I just seen a picture of on an article about flytie a. It was a kind of - pick of the flock bird to represent the breed (or landrace - idk) as a whole and looks just like your guy here. What breed is yours?

He is truly stunning, I love the combination of a white neck and colored body.

He's not mine, and I don't know what breed he is. I'm guessing mixed. Could be one of the Swedish land-races too.

Sure...it can. But if it’s profusely bleeding it definitely could use some help. Pressure helps. Little wounds stop bleeding all wounds stop bleeding...depends on how much blood you’ll let happen. They could bleed out (not from a superficial wound) too guess that would qualify as the bleeding stopping. lol
Come on Henrik! Your killing me

I guess what I was asking was whether you usually have to make them stop bleeding, or whether you can let them be most of the time. Far from all chickens take kindly to being handled.

The blood circulates through the comb I believe and that is why it bleeds so much

Makes me think about a friend who’s rooster got a bad case of frost bite so she decided to cut the comb off . Poor thing bled to death

They don't make people that stupid do they?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I didn’t think so either. Just a rookie that had read about dubbing and didn’t know what she was doing.

I don't understand how people can do that either.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Me either

Yeah. I knew a friend who had a couple large-combed roosters. It was very cold where he lived and he knew how to dub it professionally to prevent frostbite.
I could see how it could go very wrong though

(Also, your rooster looks exactly like my old one, but it had a muff )

That is just plain cruel! And ignorant! Some people shouldn’t own animals! Just sayin’.
