hi all my white hen that i found covered in blood on thursday seemed to be fit enough to go back in her original cage but the flying around caused by catching her started the bleeding again so im thinking its a broken blood feather, how do i pluck these feathers to stop the bleed for good? (the blood is coming from the underside of the wing on the outer edge)

Hopefully one of the breeders with more experience in that sort of thing will come on later and help you out.
