Hen cut her comb
Our hen cut her comb and I have been reading on the internet and not sure what to do. One site said to isolate her for 30 days and another said to isolate her until it has healed and another said not to isolate her. Also apply so many different things blu-kote, no peck solutions, antiseptics, etc. I was thinking of keeping her with the flock and cleaning her up with saline solution. Is this ok? Should I put polysporin on it? Thank-you for your help!

Re: Hen cut her comb
If you can get blu liquid at your local TSC in the horse aisle I would use that. It will stp the others pecking it too. Easest if you can leave her with the others.

She'll be fine. Once they stop bleeding she'll heal fast.
