Hen With bloody neck

[djstanczak]

1 drake six hens. One of the hens has a bloody neck and spends most of the day hiding from the group. Is there anything we can do beside separate. We put a bunch of vasoline on her neck hoping it would slow him down, not sure how that will work. In about 3 months I will be integrating another 12 hens. Not sure why he is after this hen so much

I know my roosters have favorites so I’m sure drakes do too. Any pics of the neck?

I will try to get some tomorrow. It’s not an open gaping wound, it’s from being grabbed for breeding. If the vasoline doesn’t work he’s getting separated

I would separate for now as well. The wound needs time to heal.

I cut the end from a baby sock and had my girl wear it like a turtle neck. It helped some. The male could grab that instead of her neck. I like coconut oil on the sore neck. I put the drake in jail for a good bit of the day too.
