Out of nowhere a lot of our hens started attacking one hen. Bad enough that she now has a major bloody head wound. To get them to stop and from what I’ve read we’ve separated her into a dog kennel within the run. We’ve also been using a healing aid + skin repair on the wound. A couple days have passed (during this time a hen escaped and was eaten by a dog) needless to say all hens are stressed and not laying very well.
My main question is at what point do I consider euthanizing the injured hen? My worry is even if her wounds heel once we put her back with the flock it will happen again.
