I found my light my light Brahma yesterday all messed up. She was fine an hour earlier but must have had a tough time with my new roo when I was not looking.
My last and only roo I ever had was quiet gental with the ladies so i have never delt with this before.
All of her back neck feathers are gone, nothing but red bumpy skin. and she is struggling to walk. I removed her and put her in a quiet cage for now and have been treating with yogurt and other goodies, and she seems able to walk just painfully.
Maybe while trying to mate her she fell? I am not sure, and am afraid that a second round with him might lead to a scalping like I have seen in other posts. After a week or so should I try to re-introduce or should I keep her away from him from now on?
I looked over all other chooks and they seem to be handeling him fine.
Does that happen often?
