Thank you, I’ll definitely work on another coop divider.
This is my Pekin, Chelsea 😂 he doesn’t have much of a tail feather curl but one is a little lifted? Sounds like a drake, no honk.

The bleeding had stopped before I got to the scene, but should I be cleaning the wounds or letting them heal on their own?
I moved them in with the newest chick...
My Pekin has had this spot since her white feathers started coming in. It’s not really bald, it just seems like he still has baby feathers in that one spot. Is this problematic? It’s not bothering me if it doesn’t bother him. It doesn’t seem to be, but this guy also has issues with his legs so...
