I noticed this chick (~3 weeks old) being pecked by her brooder-mates. I found this on her tail. I cleaned her off the best I could but what else can I/do I do?
It looks like they pecked a blood feather she will be fine just make sure to clean allot of the blood off of it if they start to peck it more you might want too separate her until it heals better.
I noticed some wetness on one of my chick's wings this afternoon. Thought is might just be water but it's sticky so I'm guessing she got pecked and it's blood. She seems find and it's fairly dry. Not red just dried looking. No obvious wound.
I spent quite a bit of time in the coop with them and nobody was particularly aggressive.
If I should wash it off, do I just use warm water?
Or should I just leave it alone?
I'm not planning on overly babying these birds.
