I have one rooster and three hens. I got them all at the same time (along with two other roosters, but we gave them away), and they are all the same age.

Yesterday, I went to go feed my chickens and I noticed that there was blood all over the coop, and that my rooster (Momo) was bleeding on his comb and there was blood all over his neck. I don't know what to right now. It doesn't seem like a predator got inside the coop, and I don't know if one of the hens attacked him.

I can take a picture of him when I get home after school (I'm at school right now) if it's not raining, because it was raining earlier today.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
Sorry anout your rooster. Bleeding can attract more pecking.. I would look around the coop and run to see if there is anything sharp that she could have cut himself on, such as fencing, a nail, or piece of metal. Watch to see if the others are pecking him, and if necessary, separate him into a dog crate with food and water secured inside so they don’t spill. Pictures would be helpful.
