munkee1965 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 One of my girls has had her comb pecked by one of the others. It's got a bit missing now and has been bleeding. I've bathed it with some water and she seems Ok. Is there anything else I should do or will it now heal on it's own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It should scab over and then the scab will drop off. The only thing to watch out for is more pecking - chooks are attracted by the colour red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 One of my girls used to peck at anothers comb when she was in the nest box, sometimes it was a job to stop the bleeding so I would bring her in and keep her quiet until it stopped, then spray with purple spray before she went back so it wasn't a temptation for the others to peck.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That happened to one of my girls . I put cornflour on the wound but once it stopped bleeding the others weren't interested in it and it healed well on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
