I noticed this wound under the end of my female peckin’s right wing. I’m guessing it was from a tumble down the hill, but I’m not certain. If anyone has had any similar issues, or knows how to treat the wound, then any information would be greatly appreciated.
 
It's very possible that her feathers have been pulled. I have 5 females and one of my pekins pulls feathers from the other pekins when they are trying to "mate". They are very confused biologically since I don't have a male. I spent many months and a lot of money at the vet trying to figure out what was going on with one of my poor duck's sides, as the wounds looked much like this. Upon spending more time observing, I saw the feather pulling going on and since have had to separate the ducks during the day and keep a closer eye on them. Attached is a picture I took of the wounded area:

Our females also “mate” with each other. Didn’t think it would get to be so violent. Thanks for the info!
