so Henrietta is in a safe spot and staying away from the 2 other hens and a Roo that are still alive--the rest were brutally slaughtered last night, Sad day for us. Henrietta is walking -- but not hungry. I put a dropper of Vit B complex, t vinegar, 2 aspirin, and echinacea/goldenseal in 1 gal water. Her comb is completely gone, the blood is dry, and since they roam she is difficult to catch and i don't want to stress her more than she is already. She is drinking very well. So i am hoping the vinegar in water will help heal her, as she dips her beak into it to drink. So here's the Q--will her comb grow back? Does the combs have another purpose other than for the rooster to hold her down? Is it ok for her to not have a comb? any ideas?
