My three ducklings have always been together. Since yesterday the Rouen (who I believe to be male) has started plucking out the chest down of one of my two Pekins. (The one I believe to be male also). He has two bare patches with dried blood and he won't leave him alone. Every time he gets settled the Rouen comes and pulls at his chest or tail feathers. He does it a little bit to the other Pekin, who I believe to be female, but no where near as often. When I put treats in tonight, he continues to pluck despite the treats and the other two just ran around trying to get away from him. He had a mouthful of down. I had to separate him. I placed him in a large dog cage with bedding, food and water for the night. I had sprayed Blu-Kote on the areas but that seemed to make it worse.
Anyone have any suggestions?
They are all calling each other and stressed but I can't leave him in there for the night. They couldn't even sit down as he was chasing them.
