Help! Please favourite chick and first injury!!

[socks]

Sorry, I don't have time to search this more but my favourite chick and one of the few girls (I think) of the 5 1/2 week olds has an injury at her neck. i don't think the others did it I think we did it by accidentally letting a length of fishing line fall into the coop last night.

Not really certain but at her neck some feathers are worn away and the skin seems raw and is red, no actual wound site. I grabbed her when i saw this, looked up injuries quickly and ran out with the polysporin.....I may have made it worse, now she is scratching at her injuring because of the goop on her feathers.

I guess i have to separate her from the others but how can I stop her from injurying herself more....

thanks for your quick consideration.
