Granny's gone and done it again

Occipital neuralgia is a type of headache, causing severe, piercing, throbbing, or electric-shock-like pain at the back of the head, neck, and behind the ears or eyes, often feeling like a migraine or tension headache but originating from irritated occipital nerves. Symptoms can include intense scalp tenderness, making light touch painful, and can feel like shooting pain radiating from the base of the skull up the back of the head.
The shoulders get tight, nerves there run up into the neck, from the neck to the head and scalp.

Just curious why did you separate them?
We have a silkie bantam rooster named Romeo that knows he is a handsome dude and all the girls want to be with him. He will do his feather dance around hens twice his size and fight any rooster that tries to intervene. He has a hen of his own (her name is Juliette of course) and she is the only hen that will let him mount. This morning, when I let them out, he decided I was worthy of his attention and did his dance around my feet. I told him to keep dreaming! He looked up at me like he knew what I was saying and went to stand guard beside Juliette at the water fountain. I started my day with a good laugh.
We have two younger chickens a pullet ( I think 🤓) and a roo that are hatched from our first flock that a predator killed :( And they are all that's left of that generation. So I am very protective over them anyways..well the wyandottes have always bullied them from the start. They had gotten a bit better within the last week or so, but yesterday when I had errands to do I locked up everyone early (which they all hate) and was going to let them all out for a bit when I got home before bedtime for them..the pullet got attacked while I was gone, and she had feathers missing from her head (not bald) and was bleeding just a little bit..all the other hens usually don't bother the younger ones..so that leaves me to think that the wyandotte's probably started something..that was the last straw for me.. if our main rooster Colonel Sanders had not been protecting her she probably would have been killed :( He is a very good rooster and loves his hens. He is kind with us and wags his tail hello when we come out there and talk to him haha I think chickens know we have family units like they do, and don't really "court" us, but are just friendly to show they aren't going to attack us!
