My kids just left the chicken run open and one of my chickens was plucked by my dogs. I have vet schooling and used to work in a clinic. So I checked her over thoroughly there are no bites but half her back and butt is plucked. From what I can tell no broken bones. Her upper back feathers are able to cover her. Should I isolate her for a day or two or should I let her go back to her coop? Should I get a chicken jacket to cover her up?

Her back looks good. Just observe her for a couple of days making sure she's eating/drinking normally and acting like a chicken should.
Yeah I have been keeping a close eye so far. She was so shaken up at first she wouldn’t leave her coop. But she eventually ventured out with the others. I’ll be watching close all day to make sure she isn’t hurt more or getting bullied. She is so lucky her flock seems very protective of her right now!
