Help! Chicken introduction went wrong

She is doing A LOT better. Her tail feathers are already regrowing, but I still don't know if her oil gland is okay.
This weekend I tried bringing her outside so she could hang out with her sister, her sister (a buff Orpington) was really aggressive towards her. Her sister would literally chase her, and peck at her really hard, plus they kicked each other a couple of times. So, I had to separate them and let Maru enjoy the outdoors by herself :(
Anyways, I am planning to keep her inside until all the feathers regrow which I think will take another couple of weeks. After that, I will put her back in the coop but with a mesh separating them again.
Also, here is a picture from today. Her feathers look really ugly/greasy, probably because she hasn't been able to clean herself properly + the ointment.
