Hi All,
Although we have had the hens for slightly over a year (total newbies) we have not experienced all the joys of chicken ownership yet. Today I came home to find one of the Buff Orpintons bleeding rather profusely from her comb. They were all in the run. No other injuries. She seems to be okay, but I did isolate her to prevent her from possible further pecking. (no idea how this happened) How do I clean the wound and all the blood that is very near her eye? Should I re-introduce her tonight after cleaning her up? Any help is appreciated.
