DIY coop ideas for ill chick

[Corrdun]

Hi not been keeping chicks long and have just noticed that one has been feather plucked and has some blood around her tail,

I know to remove her to stop the others pecking at her but was thinking of the best way to build a medibay so to speak.

As i'm new to this I only have the one coop.

Any idea PLEASE.

If you can find a product called Blukote in your country, that would work. It covers the injury with a... coat of blue

and keeps the birds from pecking it.

If you can't, you might try a hillbilly backup remedy I do occasionally: Fold a piece of duct tape over the top of the tail base. It won't stick to the feathers forever, but will cover the pecked-at area until it heals.
