I would certainly start by segregating him quickly to give her time to heal.... Also, are there any other chickens pecking her? She might need time on her own just to keep them from pecking her to death if there's blood or a really red spot showingI need some help! My roo has had a problem with one of my hens. He chases her if she gets too close to treats and/or he feels like she's hogging everything. I thought he was doing this because she was a bit of a bully. My husband found her sleeping under the nest boxes the other night and yesterday she was sitting in a nest box when I got home. She has a raw spot behind her comb and I saw him peck her yesterday and her comb was torn in the back also. I'm not sure what to do. I can't have him hurting her intentionally. This was NOT the result of too much mating.
She was the last one in the coop last night and both my DH and I thought she looked like a turkey. She was puffed up and looked just like a black turkey. Is it related? Does Rodney need to go to jail for abuse? Can I correct this behavior? Other than this he's been a very good roo. Any thoughts?
