Pecking injury?

[darbymomma]

We noticed one of our sapphire gems had blood on her nose. Not sure if its from pecking or what. Any ideas?

It almost looks as if she got her beak caught in something and injured herself getting it loose.

Clean it up as best you with warm water, a small dab of triple antibiotics(repeated daily or more often) and if the flock singles her out isolate her until it is healed. You will be surprised(we were) at how fast that a chicken heals. Good luck...

Thanks guys! Thats kind of what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

I ❤ my chicken community.
