I just woke up to my quarantine pen two going at it. I think it's a hen/gander. We have 3 girls and one gander from what we can tell.
I think the youngest one 15 weeks old got her heads tuck and cut on a bar and they all freaked out, and the gander came over to end the fight and had some feathers in mouth, so they were both going at it. I picked the gander up and got him to calm down and noticed the cuts on the little girls face.
She's eating/cleaning her face now and the laceration on the beak is minimal (sub 2mm or so). I'm just leaving them alone and they seem calm now but just wondering for beaks do I need to do anything special or keep an eye to make sure it heals good?
Also mind you this is their first day in their new pen I'm keeping them secluded from my main flock as a precaution. The breeder I got them from has AI/NPIP certs so not super worried, but just planning to keep them separate from the drive over since it is migratory season here in the NE USA.
Thanks (it's also really late so exhausted) but any advice is welcomed.
