Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have an emergency and my thread doesn't seem to be read on the other subject.
So pardon me for posting here. This is my last effort to get advise, because this thread has bigger audience.

My gentle sweetie rooster, Julio, was picked on. I thought he was molting. But i found twice he was bloody. I had put the anti peck lotion and tape his hair in a bun, this morning I found he was bloody again.
Please help, I don't know what to do to stop this. I have 4 Polish who live in the same coop. All of them are friendly and gentle to me. Apparently not to him. Getting rid of the two girls who picked him is not an option. I am going to separate him into the silkie coop that has bottom partition (so he won't mix with the gentle silkies). But, say, if he is better, is this picking going to continue??? I don't know what to do. This is my first time raising chicken.
See the pictures. The stem is bloody.

Poor baby! With a vaulted Polish skull you certainly don't want his head pecked at to suffer injury or death to the soft spot on top. Is he a young cockerel? Hens/pullets of any breed are notorious for intimidating cockerels which is why breeders will keep cockerels in a separate pen until they mature with confidence to handle the girls.

Yes he is a young cockerel. He just started crowing about 2 weeks now and he is very protective, from his demeanor. He is only sweet, gentle and playful to me, maybe because I raised him since baby. But to my other family members who don't handle him, he has the protective gesture.
So I should keep him in the 1st story of the silkie, huh? And have them get acquainted? Right underneath the silkie coop, I can add a wire partitioner, so they can play side by side and see Julio, and hopefully I can eventually mix them. But where does he sleep at night? Back in the house again? Garage? *cry* *cry* i feel so sad for Julio. This morning I almost cried. It looks painful, it must but painful.....
Also, once he gets better and a bit older, can I put him back to the Polish house? I am 99% sure I have 2 girls. One more Polish, I don't know...still in question.

I would separate for a bit or relocate like you said so his feathers can come back in. Lol!!! Once the blood was a abbey over I pUT Vicks vapor rub on it. Chickens hate the way it takes and that it's gummy like. And my 2 boys feathers grew back fine.
