Hens pecking roosters legs

[Anniefromarkansas]

suddenly discovered this past weekend in both of our chicken tractors that our hens were pecking our roosters legs/feet to bloody red spots! Anyone know why this is happening?

Do your roosters have feathered legs?

I think your hens care about your rooster by looking after him. They like mother’s you know.

Then why were they picking him for blood fom blth feet!?

Yes one has feathered feet, one does not.

Sorry! I missed this. Once there is blood the picking will continue. You can spray their legs with Blue Kote to disguise the wounds and prevent picking

Not sure if I agree with your comment about hens looking out for the roosters..they were relentless in pdcking

Not sure if I agree with your comment about hens looking out for the roosters..they were relentless in pecking at both roosters in each coop to the point of bloody wounds and removal of roosters to safety.

I understand your frustration, here. Just a note that not everyone on here is an adult and we don't always know everyone's background, either Did you try the blue kote? Did you seperate the roos?
