Bloody Combs and Tattered Feathers

[australorpluvr]

I have a flock of 8 australorps and 2 of them now have bloody combs. I believe it is due to bullying by several members of the flock. I took the two victims and separated them from the rest for a night and treated their combs per the instruction of an online vet. I noticed today when I put them out to graze that one of them has very tattered feathers on her chest as well as new sores on her comb. I picked her up and inspected the damage and it appears she's lost feathers to where I can see her skin. I saw her take a very long dust bath yesterday so I am not entirely sure the new tattered feathers are as a result of bullying or something else. The other hen seems to be doing okay, she doesn't seem to have more damage than what she had before. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I just put one of the hens who seems to be doing the most bullying in solitary confinement but if there are any other options im all ears
