Hey! So I was just completing my first health check in a while on my flock and I found what appears to be an old open wound (most likely caused by my roo) on the side of one of my hens. It seems to have been there for a while and I just feel terrible that I didn’t find it sooner! The skin around it seems to be yellowish and I can’t tell if it’s a scab or a bunch of dirt inside of the wound. She also has a huge rooster rub on her back which is just starting to heal over. What should I do? She is healthy and alert in all other aspects, there’s no oozing/blood, and she’s still eating and acting normal. Should I take her to the vet, or is there no point since it seems to have healed on it’s own? Ahhhhh
