Torn Comb

[DebFitz]

One of my Wyandotte pullets got her head stuck in a fence and tore her comb at the base where it attached to the top of her head. About 1/4" was detached. It bled a bit but not profusely and has clotted now. I cleaned and disinfected the area and have her in a separate pen. Is there anything else I should do for her?

TIA for any advice ...

Welcome to BYC. I would have done what you have already. I would also get some BluKote to dab on or spray on the wound when you decide to place her back with the others. It is very staining (dark blue/violet,) so be careful with it. There are other preparations such as AluShield, Aluspray, or aluminum spray dressing available at farm stores that will hide wounds and act as a shield or barrier.

Thanks ... I'll get some of that.
