2 pretty major drake issues

[Adolfus Nile]

I keep a flock of pekins and a flock of runners atm and ive got 2 problems today. The pekin drake has his penis hanging out today and it doesnt look like hes putting it up. Could it be because hes too fat?

The second issue is a bit bigger, i brought a trio of ducks from my parents house yesterday, one male and 2 females. I kept them separate this morning by a fence and when i got home today they were all together and the new drake beat up my primary runner drake. Hes moving slow and sitting down a lot, had some blood on his back. I investigated him closer and it looks like he just had a bunch of feathers plucked off of his back. What should I do about this? I locked up the other drake, I intended to sell him but I might just have to eat him instead.

I just went ahead and sprayed him off with the hose, i figured that was a good move to help clean his back. he seemed like he liked it. For the pekin drake i put him in water which i havent seen him go in for a while, he seemed to really like it. Didnt help though. Would love quick responses to either question.

The other problem do you have Veterycin spray for wounds and infections this should help any wounds feel better.
I'd def keep the drakes separated so your Runner doesn't get killed they are not big enough to take on a larger drake.

I dont have veterycin spray. Could i use a solution of isopropyl alcohol and water ?

I don’t think I’d want alcohol sprayed on me. Ouch do you have Betadine ?you can mix it with a little water and spray it.

Im not really familiar with betadine either. The idea is that it needs to be an antiseptic right?

Do you have salt? Rinse in warm salt water then let it dry and put something like Neosporin with out pain meds or triple antibiotic
Is it an open wound? There are recipes on line for mixing salt and water so it doesn’t sting.
