Came back from a week vaca and discovered my Silkie roo (Moe) had not only developed some sort of fungus on his ear lobe, but also had his tail feathers plucked out and a somewhat scabbed over wound. I've given him a bath, Blue Koted the wound, and isolated him. This is my first time dealing with either and I'm at a loss.
We have another roo - Pete - who is the Alpha, and I suspect they got into it while I was gone. Poor Moe is a wreck. He's still crowing and strutting, but during his bath I noticed a LOT of his feathers have been plucked. He is isolated, but I don't have the means to do that long term.
Any thoughts on:

Any thoughts on:
- The white fungus-like substance on his lobe
- Other things I need to do for his wound
- Any disease dangers to my other silkies and sexlinks
