Our rooster Henry is old and has a bad leg so he is not able to move real fast and the hens have been pecking at his comb so badly that is gets to bleeding. Is there anything I can put on it to get them to stop. I tried vaseline and it worked for a while but now they just ignore it. We have him isolated right now but he is not happy about this.
Any suggestions?
 
I just ran into this same problem with a couple of hens picking at my roos wattles till they bled. I used Blue Kote with the dauber and that did the trick. They are leaving his wattles alone now.
 
Oh thank you so much. Our feed store has it. Thanks again for the help.
