I posted about this yesterday in the behaviors section, but I need to know how to treat the wounds my larger hens caused to my almost 10 week old pullet. There wasn't any broken skin but as you can see in my photos the feathers were plucked out at the root and it was pretty bloody. I washed her best I could with warm water and sprayed some Vetericyn on the area yesterday. This morning the blood is completely dried up. Do I need to do anything else? How long should I wait before putting her back with all the others? I have her isolated in the run to make sure they can't further damage the area. Do I need to continue cleaning her? Will the dried blood attract the other hens to the area? Yesterday I couldn't even keep her with the other pullets because even they started going for the blood. Pics from yesterday right after the incident.
