Ouch :( How did she do that ?

She might not keep the plaster on. I have used in the past the spray stuff that stops bleeding, can't think of the name of it. If you can pick up some purple spray it's handy to have in :)
You will need to keep a real close eye on it, it really needs to stop bleeding.

the guy who sold us the chickens said that they heal quite quickly if given the chance but if it hasn't stopped bleeding he's got some antiseptic spray he uses when they are clipping the sheeps hooves and they go a bit too far,she doesn't seem bothered by the plaster just want it to heal. Going on ebay later to order purple spray hopefullt there won't be a next time but better safe than sorry! Evil little beeps when they see blood I got a few pecks ouch!
