new chicken flock, would like opinions

[vsmenagerie]

The EE roo appears to have a fresh (or opened?) sore on his tail. Im not sure if its because he had scabs and maybe hit it or if someone is still picking. I gave them a couple eggs, mixed up with cottage cheese, a piece of bread, carrot and broccoli that I baked today LOL They gobbled it up. I know when I went to shut the coop last night, he was in a nest box with a hen, and his butt was sticking out. I did see feathers growing in but I also wonder if someone picked on him then. But, it appears a lot of feathers are growing in and thats the only new sore Ive seen. Im hoping to get him caught tonight to put something on it.

I use stypic powder most pet stores should carry it. It stops the bleeding and is used on dogs as well as birds.

Blue Kote is another thing I have read that people use on the chickens.
Nice of you to give them such wonderful treats.

With my newer hens (pullets really) I had to use the powder since they came from a place they were getting picked on as well.
Nice full tails now.
