Roo wattle bleeding, pecking at it himself

[Harmoni]

I made the mistake of trying to rehome my roo. I brought him to someone who had other roos. Long story short, I brought him back home with me. He fought one of the roos and his wattle got cut. I had the bleeding under control until bed tonight. I went to close up the coop and there was blood all over him. HE is picking at his own wattle! How can I stop him? Help!

Can you get a picture of his wattles in the morning? The bleeding should stop on it’s own, but if you could bring him inside in a crate overnight to monitor him, it would help. Flour and corn starch can be helpful to clot blood.

Comb, & wattles are very vascular, so they bleed alot. They usually stop bleeding on their own.

He has crate PTSD now after the trip and panicked when I attempted to crate him. The girls aren't bothering him at all. I figured it would be less stressful for him. I'll take a pic in the morning. There are multiple wounds

I also applied poultry wound spray, cornstarch and coffee grounds.

What are coffee grounds supposed to do?

Stop bleeding.

Stop bleeding.

Never heard of coffee grounds being used for that purpose.

Good application of Cornstarch/Flour mix should work.
Icing the area will stop, or reduce bleeding also.

I read it as a recommendation on here and then researched it. I'm hoping the bitterness will also stop him from picking.

Chickens love bitter, & sour tastes, so he may find it tasty.
