Hello my duck has multiple broken blood feathers on her wings.We think it’s the other ducks doing it or her doing it from being bored at night.we put vetericyn plus on her for a week but every morning she would be bloody again.Now we have sprayed her with it and wrapped it in vet wrap.I’ll upload pictures.

Blood feathers don't stop bleeding easily. If they are broken blood feathers, they likely need to be pulled to stop the the bleeding. It is possible for broken blood feathers to cause a bird to bleed out and die. If you don't have styptic powder, you can try putting cornstarch or flour on the end to try and help stop the bleeding.

If the wrap managed to stop the bleeding, you won't need to pull the feathers. If you are not comfortable with pulling blood feathers, you will want to go see a vet.
