What kind of injuries? Can she walk? Has she been isolated?

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

It can walk, the injury does not hurt her flesh, it hurts her skin.

Separate them.  She will continue to produce fertile eggs for at a minimum of two weeks.  That should represent a clutch large enough that she wil set - that is if your intent is to raise poults.  1 tom with 1 hen presents the possibility for serious injury.
