I have a hen that had her wattle nearly ripped in half from another hen. Blood all over the place. I didn't clip the hanging part of in fear of infection, so all I did was spray it with blu-kote. I sprayed it every day for about 2 weeks and eventually the ripped part hardened and fell off. You might need to also use a q-tip to get the blu-kote all around the ripped area if the spray won't get there. I had to do this. She healed completely. The blu-kote helps to keep it from getting infected, and keeps the others from pecking at the wound as well. So you can give this a try.

Good luck with your roo and his wattle and welcome to BYC!

Hello and Welcome to BYC! Blue-Kote is a type of Wound Spray, you can get it or something similar in most feed stores, often in the horse section http://www.statelinetack.com/item/b...ku^73631-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^38751079908 Poor roo did get beat up didn't he, hope he heals fine.

Yep, this is what my hen looked like. As Kelsie has said, you can get this at all feed stores. It comes in a yellow and blue can. Make sure to use gloves when spraying it as it will stain the hands. And his feathers! They also make a pour on Blu-kote, or better yet, they make something called Scarlet Oil. It is basically the same as Blu-kote, but it is red. So it may help to hide the darker colors on the comb. You will need to apply it often to keep it red and help it heal. If you can afford it, get both and see which one works better.

My girl looked just like this and healed up well. That piece hanging off will fall off once healed.

Good luck!

Welcome to BYC. By the looks of that wattle, the healing process has already started. Keep him separated from the other roosters and make sure the hens do not peck at his wattle.

Thank you all for helping me

two roosters don't make good buddies. You could separate them, or rehome one to prevent further battles.
