Chickens eating my duck??!!!!

[Puff_and_Waddles]

HUGE issue. I currently have a female pekin duck who recently recovered from not being able to walk. Last Sunday I saw that her rear was bleeding profusely as if something had taken a bite out of her. I cleaned her up and sprayed theracyn on it and it looked like it was healing fine. She was bleeding again today, and we discovered that our chickens are the culprits!!! They are literally pecking a hole in her rear and it looks like they’re ripping out her tail feathers too. Has ANYONE EVER had this issue??!!! And does anyone have suggestions as to what I can do to stop this???

REMOVE THE DUCK! let her heal Completely

Once there is an open wound the chickens will be prone to pecking at it and it can get nasty. I agree she has to be removed until. Ompletely healed.
