My Large Male Peacock's Neck pecked

[Marjoriesanderson]

Hi, I found my large male peacock this morning hiding his head and neck behind the wooden pen, probably to protect it from more pecking. I first thought he was stuck, so I pulled it forward just to make sure, then saw his neck looked slightly pecked at on both sides. Not severely, but lightly on both sides. I think one of the younger males had done this as I started to see him getting a bit more aggressive a few days ago. (Mama had 4 peachicks 2 years ago & they are now getting big. We want to re-home them soon.) I am going to try to remove the younger male to let the big one heal or isolate our big papa to heal by tarping off the injured one. He looked a little glassy-eyed. I am worried he may have an infection. I made sure he ate and then drank plenty of water. Is there something I can spray on the neck to help heal it?? I read that Vetericy Plus Antimocrobial Poultry Care spray is good for peacock wounds, but if someone has a better idea, I'd love to hear it. Thank you, Marjie

Yes, the Vetrycin is perfect for this. Get the two year cocks out of there asap.

Ok, thank you. I got the younger males out of that pen and have been spraying the Vetrycin on the big male's neck for several days now, and he seems a LOT better and more peaceful too. Thank you for your response.
