I'm not sure how the postings work and if when I reply back on my post it would be a recent post still and so just to be safe, say it here.

I came back from piano practice and found one of my Muscovies wing all bloody however no more blood is coming out and I know it's due to the other muscovy pecking on it!
What do I do? Should I seperate them?
 
Have you tried no-peck ointment? It tastes very nasty and discourages pecking with chickens.

If it's not bleeding any longer, I would leave the situation, but keep a very wary eye on it. There's a possibility that they've just finished sorting out the pecking order, and the fighting is over, in which case, removing the loser would do more harm than good when you have to re-integrate.

If you don't have time to keep an eye on it, you should probably separate immediately.

How bad is the blood? Do you think it's bad enough to need cleaned and disinfected? If so, you should probably do that.
 
I responded on your other thread, can you post a pic of your set up? If it continues, you might have to separate them.
