Puncture Wound Won't Close

The dark bit looks like it doesn't belong. If you pick at it, does it bleed?

That looks pretty good to me. I'd let it alone.

Really?

It just doesn't look like the chicken wounds I've seen. Hard for me to explain. If it's just a scab, peeling a little off should make it bleed.

No it doesn't bleed. It is not connected to the skin. It gets moister, yellowish and stringy when the dry black part is clipped away.

Is it yellow under the scab? Can you post a picture?

I cut it back a bit today in hopes that the skin will be able to heal. There is no smell and it is very deep.

The pink looks good/normal, the yellow stuff doesn't look right though. What happens if you pick a little piece of the yellow off?

It goes very deep. It is pretty stringy. I clipped it back today. I am nervous to take it all the way out because it is keeping things from getting in.

You all think this looks normal?
