    Rooster pecked in the butt

    Rooster pecked in the butt

    Indeed, he has the fingers (I assume you call them like that?) not straight and he walks strange. But he does his job as a rooster. He is the only one by the way. Will hens attack a rooster even if handicapped? By the way I was shocked when I saw all that blood …

    Rooster pecked in the butt

    Thanks for your answer, this forum is amazing! Coop is small but they have about 700 square meters to walk around. They eat a mix of seeds and pellet, all bio. Proteins are 10%. Enclosed picture. I noticed he misses all the tail feathers and where he bleeds is a broken one.

    Rooster pecked in the butt

    Hello, In my small flock (6 chickens in total), I have a rooster that was born handicapped. One of my chickens has started pecking him in the butt to a point to make him bleeding. What is the root cause and how can I help him healing and stop this behavior? Thanks for your support!
