Haven't discovered my "mean hen" but she's attacked one of my RIRs. Her head has a nasty wound and her comb is damaged. Discovered her hiding in a nest box yesterday. Cleaned it up and put some triple anti-biotic on it (no pain reliever). Covered the biggest part of her injury with a bandage. Bandage is off today and the wound is still bloody. Can I use liquid bandage or "new-skin" on it. I'm doing what I can to keep the other birds away from her for now and frankly, so is she. Don't have a set up that will allow me to keep her completely isolated from them so I have try to keep them from pecking her wound some other way.. When they went out to free range yesterday and today, I closed the coop and only left them access to the run. Any advise? Especially interested in whether I can use the liquid bandage.
Thanks much!!
