Roosters comb sliced off

[SunnySoleil]

Our American Game Rooster, think that's what he is, is in a cage - we got him with 11 game hens as part of the 'gift' deal. Yesterday found him out of the cage fighting with our other roo. He had no comb. Found his comb on top of the cage.. It was sliced clean off.

I put woundkote on it.. but not sure if this is a bad injury...He still walks around, and think he is eating... any advice?

is he bleeding alot?
my bantam rooster got caught in the fence and lost a spike.
he bled out and than died.

May not be as bad as you think. Lots of people dub their roosters' combs and wattles for show, which means they just cut them off with scissors

There is usually a good bit of blood. I would keep him separate for a couple of days, apply neosporin liberally, and make sure he doesn't bump it. If he is eating, etc. he will probably be fine.

He just self-dubbed! Keep it from getting infected and he'll be fine.
