Rooster pecked and blending

[madicakes]

My Australorp hen pecked at my silkie roosters head. He was bleeding but it seems to have stopped Now. I am wondering if I should separate him while it heals. It's right at the edge of his comb (He's black) and not as noticeable now that it has stopped bleeding.

I think it will be fine if you don't isolate him. It helps that both scabs and Silkie skin are black, and the wound won't be very noticeable. I would watch him closely for the next few days, though, just to make sure your hens aren't injuring him further.

I agree.

The wounds should heal in a few days.

Thank you both for the advice!! I checked on him last night and all seemed well on the roost.
