Help! I need advice on what to do about my RIR rooster; he got in a fight with one of our other roosters (my younger sister put them together, thinking they wouldn't get into a fight!

He's acting fine, so this isn't really a big emergency, but how can I stop the bleeding and what else can I do to help? His Red Star hens aren't pecking at it at all...they never do anyway, which I don't get, because I've heard that they like to peck at bright red things.

Whenever one of the chickens get a minor injury, like a small comb injury, they never peck at it.

But anyway, I'm going to put some flour on it to help stop the bleeding. Is there anything else I can do for him?
Thanks!

(LOL thanks...I can't believe I spelled "flour" as "flower"
