sparkieg66 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi One of our chickens has peck/ripped off totally the comb of another. Advice needed please. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Ouch, not experienced this but I would bring her in and clean wound, spray with purple spray if you have it and bob on some vet wound powder. If it's bleeding then you can stop it with cornflour. I'd seperate her until it's stopped bleeding and you are able to disguise the wound. It has a good blood supply so should heal fairly quickly but that may cause you problems stopping it bleeding. Then to deal with the pecking problem.................

Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Ouch . One of my new girls last year had one of the points of her comb pecked off but this sounds worse . I'd offer the same advice as Plum . Good luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedqueen Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 How is she now? there seems to be an awful lot of aggressive pecking going on these days must be something in the air. One of my girls had hers split a little when she was about 5 months but it healed quickly. hope she's ok now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
