My runner babies are getting beat up by their Khaki siblings. Last Thursday this wing was bloody, I surmised that she had gotten her head stuck in the wire mesh of the brooder, flailed around and beat her wings up, the next day I caught the khakis attacking her and pecking her wings. I was away for the long weekend and when I got back it looks like she hadn’t improved and they were still bullying. I figured to shake up the social dynamics and give the runners a break so the Khakis got moved out with the adult ducks, they were pretty well feathered anyway.
I am
Hoping for thoughts on this wing, the black runner has crusty looking wings also, but not bloody and not this bad. Is it just dried blood and I should let it heal, it should I be doing something more for it? I have let them swim several times.
