Hi everyone, a little over a month ago we got mixed chicks from tractor supply. We recently let them out into the coop with 2 ducks they were raised with and 3 chickens from our last group (2 hens and 1 rooster are left). I do know one hen is being bullied but the other hen is bleeding with this weird brown under her feathers, can anyone help me out here, I don't know what this is

It's the scab from the tissue where the skins been ripped away.
It might need debriding and antibiotic ointment applied, but I'll let others give you more advice on wound care.
