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.

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.
