Crowing
My sister came into my room with one of my Belgian bantams - Sugar, in her arms. Sugar's face was covered in blood! I panicked: "What on earth happened?!" Turns out my sister found her in the run, hurt. We took Sugar to the laundry and first cleaned her feathers around her face, as they were stained with blood - we couldn't clean them 'back to normal' though. We needed to get to the injury. A gash, on the left side of her comb, about a cm long, a little bit deep. Luckily, it clotted, so she wasn't going to bleed to death. I had chicken blood on my arms trying to clean around the wound. I decided to get Sugar some cold plain yogurt to up her spirits and energy. She loved the yogurt! She had a sip of water in the laundry too. After enough cleaning we took her and isolated her with her BFF 'Spice' - I didn't want her to be scared all by herself. They are in a small chicken coop with a mini run attached. I have given them water - they both had a decent amount, and seed - again, had some. I looked around. And, found out what happened: Sugar needed to lay but Tango had already occupied one of the laying spots. Tango lashed out and hurt Sugar (evidence was a bit of blood on her beak). I am devastated. Any advice greatly appreciated! Please help!
Edit: Sugar tries to scratch it every now and then - must be really painful.
