Bloody chicken emergency!

[ChatKath47]

I have discovered my leghorn, Blondie, the one pictured by my name, had blood on her chest and now on her forehead. I noticed her wattle was a bit bloody and today it seems her comb is bloody. I hate to think one of my Amerucanas is aggressive and picking on her! I don't have anyplace I can put the injured chicken as I only have three and they share the coop.

There are two black cats that come over the back fence and we have to chase them away, but don't know if a cat might have attacked her. We have a lot of snow, my husband shoveled trails for the chickens to use to get around the yard and into the garden, so I don't know if Blondie got cornered by a cat, or if the other chicken(s) are picking on her. She and one Amerucana have started up laying again and I don't want this to disrupt that.

Any suggestions as to what to do and how I can treat the injured area?

Once they see blood, they generally won't stop pecking without intervention. A very small wound or cut could have been exacerbated by the other two chickens.

I've found this stuff covers up wounds and stops them from pecking. For some reason, chickens Hate this stuff on their beaks. If it's a small wound, apply liberally to the injured birds cut. One peck and they usually quit after that.

Larger wounds might require suturing by a professional.

Do they have any frostbite on the wattles or comb that might be bleeding? Do you have pictures? Do you have room in your coop for a dog crate with food and water, or can you bring her in to your house or garage? Pine tar (In the horse products) is good for peck wounds, tastes bad, and has healing qualities. They sell that and PickNoMore at TSC.
