I found one of our hens like this this morning. She is in a coop with 8 other hens and one rooster. Impossible to tell which of them did this, or if she did it to herself? I have her separated with food and water in a large dog crate.
First aid ideas? Obviously needs some antiseptic and styptic powder/cream. Looks like there are a LOT of feathers missing from the wing. Do I wrap the whole wing against her body until the wound itself heals? Can I put a cone or something on her head? She’s been pecking at the wound.

Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
