So my new tuxedo boy has become quite the 'stud' and chases the gals around endlessly. I removed one of the gals because he had pulled out all of the feathers on the back of her head AND her shoulder and there was some blood- she looked so sad! (and cold!) so I separated her. She is healing up and is thankful to be in a separate pen with just one other girl.
but this morning I noticed now he's picked a new favorite (he is now in a pen with 3 girls) and his new favorite gal had some blood on her face...no feather pulling but blood! This guy is rough! So I'm thinking of what to do this weekend to get this solved-
should I-
trim his beak?
separate him from the girls for awhile?
all of the above?
your advice is much appreciated!
