Hi my girl, Daffy is a little down. She had something sharp sticking right below her ear. It didn't seem to hurt her but it was sharp. We trimmed it and it didn't bleed or anything. She is eating and acting herself but now I need to figure out how to integrate her back into the flock. Does anyone know what the sharp object might be beside her ear. I am attaching pictures. Her symptoms were a droopy comb and she was staying in the nesting box all the time.

Can you get some photos of what you cut off beside her ear? I don't see anything.
How long was she separated?
She's well now?
Here's some info about re-integrating a hen back into the flock.
