My own stupidity, now I've got a pecked chick. =[

I am a believer in warm moist heat for red inflammed areas such as your roo's oil gland. I have given my chickens warm soaks in sink. They have seemed to relax and enjoy. However , a towel moistened with hottish water and held in place for 10 or so minutes a few times /day should help. please be careful water is not scalding hot. We don't want to burn the poor thing on top of all his other troubles. Good Luck! I would keep him seperate from others too if not able to monitor what is going on.

if you have to separate him you can try putting a little stuffed animal in w/ him...i did that for one of my chicks i had to quarentine and he snuggled right up to it
