Wyandotte pullet with comb injury

[zephyr16]

My 16 week old Wyandotte pullet got a comb injury when a coyote stalked their coop yesterday morning. The pullets all went crazy and somehow she got injured. I was considering separating her from the rest but since she is 'top dog'(I have more experience with dogs) I just watched her and no one bothered her so I cleaned the area and applied antiseptic and some no peck stuff. She is doing great but I am not sure if I should cut off the small piece of comb that is hanging.

I'm sorry to hear about the attack.

You can cut it off it you wish, it will most likely eventually fall off on it's own.

My wyandotte injured her comb trying I think now to get under a fence, several months ago. She has that little rear end of the comb sticking straight up (!) and I debated clipping it but eventually left it and now that is how I tell her from the other wyandottes (and she is the naughty one!).

Best wishes for her healing up! I cleaned mine's off and neosporin and she was fine in a couple of days.
