I would first isolate him from any other birds, as they will continue to peck at blood and wounds. Then, try cleaning the area with some warm water. Apply some antibiotic ointment (without "caine" ingredients or painkillers-- these can be harmful for chickens) to the wounds. You can also try something called BlueKote, which is an antiseptic spray you can probably find at a feed store. It will color the red areas blue, which can help deter other chickens from picking at the wounds.

Would when the blue stuff go away because one of our chicks had that

Yes I already isolated him. Sorry the images aren't clear as my phone battery was dying. Also I saw the other chickens peck at him but did not torture my mallards

He's moving around and the wound is healing. He will eat and range around the yard and looks happy. His normal eating has returned also
