Please Help!! Silkie Chicken head really injured

[WinterflametheDragon]

She has one roo, and another suspected roo. She said her roo was aggressive.

The roo has only shown aggression towards humans, but he is a bit of an aggressive mater

I would seperate the bantams, 40 hens is a lot for 2 bantams.

Bantams? No. Roosters.

Ive had similar injuries happen if a chicken is sticking its head through the wire. Its always healed fine, but I had a silkie roo that had a bald spot on his head ever since.

Do you have any other bantams? Like your silkie?

make sure chicken is calm

It could be from mating, because ive seen a hen in mating, and it looks like it could hurt the neck

That is not from just mating. A proper mating shouldn't look like it ever happened once the rooster is off the hen.

Mating does not heart them, and on the slight chance it does it wont break the skin.

Chicken might not be calm because chicken skull showing.

True, but some roosters, especially younger ones, are aggressive enough to draw blood.

Not to nearly this extent though.
