Should you pull broken pin feather?

[LindseyC]

It doesn't seem to be bleeding and I treated with Vetricyn and Wound Kote. Everything I read pertains to wounds that are still bleeding so I'm wondering if I should pull it or just let it be? It's on my 3 week old leghorn.

I checked her when I got back from the store getting the meds to see if it was bleeding, and it didn't seem to be. The Vertricyn cleared most of the blood from the feathers and I didn't see any new blood.

This photo was right after I removed her from the brooder to separate her about 5 hours ago. I cleaned and treated it soon after. I checked her again later and I didn't notice it oozing blood or anything.

I don’t think that you should pull it. That would cause her pain and it would probably bleed a lot. Just keep doing what you are doing right now.
