I wish I could snap a photo but I just have tried and tried and keep missing it. Anyway, I have three girls. My Jersey Giant has kind of ugly looking tail feathers. They look a little chewed or stuck together in some places. The other two girls are doing great. I don't believe the Jersey Giant is being pecked or anything as she's the second in command and they all actually get on well. They were born and raised together. Should I just leave her and see if she cleans up or? They are 10 weeks old.
 
they could still be pecking.I'd get some blue-kote and spray the area real good. it will help to heal and also disguise the area. They don't necessarily have to peck for meanness.
 
Okay, and is Blue Kote something I can get at a feed store? I'll drive out and get it. We are about 65 miles from the feed shop.
