Our rooster Henry is old and has a bad leg so he is not able to move real fast and the hens have been pecking at his comb so badly that is gets to bleeding. Is there anything I can put on it to get them to stop. I tried vaseline and it worked for a while but now they just ignore it. We have him isolated right now but he is not happy about this.
Any suggestions?
 
I just ran into this same problem with a couple of hens picking at my roos wattles till they bled. I used Blue Kote with the dauber and that did the trick. They are leaving his wattles alone now.
