I have a chick who's tail looks like it has been plucked out and bleeding. What do I do???

Most likely caused by another chick(s) pecking at her. It looks like it is the back and the vent area, if she had a little poo stuck to her someone may have picked at that and then it progressed from there, if chickens see blood, they go for it.
We have 6.
I did isolate her with heat food and water she cried most of the night we have found when one is away they all cry to find it, they really like being together. She seems to be doing ok this morning. No more bleeding, how long does she need to be separated? And what could have caused this?
