pecking at wound

I keep turkeys, chickens, and ducks. This is the first year I've started turkeys. I have turkeys and ducks in a separate coop from the chickens. My turkeys are about 8 weeks old and constantly fighting each other. I have one separated right now because of a deep pecking wound I'm treating. I...

Nine days ago, I found my Lavender Orphinton had been mauled by what started as overzealous breeding of my Cockerel who has started mounting my girls. It appeared he had bitten into the back of her neck, drawing blood which brought on the flock tearing at her wound and causing significant injury...

Our chicks were born in June and have been fine since then. Today I found that one of my chicks was pecked at on the head badly. I assume it was one of my other chicks because they had a little blood in their beaks. I don’t know how to heal the wound, and the chick has been very sleepy. I’m...

Hi everyone, My chicken has developed a large bump on her wing. It started back in the winter when they were confined to the coop/run but since about March, they’ve been free range all day every day. My other chickens do tend to bully her a bit so I thought maybe it started when they were...

Hi! I have four chicks ranging from 2 weeks to 5 weeks old. The second to youngest (3 weeks old) got pecked to the point of bleeding early this morning. I separated her and sprayed her with Blue Kote. I've tried putting her back when everything is dry, but the smallest/youngest one keeps going...

This is my first year raising chickens (I have four that are 7-8 months old, which I got together when they were 6 weeks old) and this morning the brown leghorn (Isabella-background in pic) was fighting quite aggressively with the blue orpington (Penelope- foreground in pic) to the point that...

I free-range my girls during the day & all has been good until yesterday when we had a brazen daylight raid by 5 coyotes. They killed & ran off with one hen & injured another before I could rescue her. They pulled out about 1/3 of the feathers on her back & left her with a few lacerations. I...
