Feather pecking

[TawnberryVII]

I have 2 white crested black polish bantam chicks, and 4 green Queen bantams. All of which are about 4 weeks old. The 2 polish are getting their head feathers in and in the process their pink flesh was showing through on their head. They both got pecked to heck and back, one worse than the other. I isolated them for healing and they’re both recovered but still waiting for the feathers to come in more until they fully cover their skin to avoid continued pecking. I feel bad having them individually separated in the mean time, they seem off being alone. Is there anything I can do to at least bring those together for the time being, without them pecking each other?

Generally polish don't peck at each others crests. You may need to keep them separated from the others long term. Have you tried putting them together?
