I have a chicken that earlier this morning (Friday) had a piece of skin pulled from her (somewhat graphic)

I have only had chickens for about a year and this is the first time something like this has happened. I’m not sure exactly what happened to her but be piece of skin was ripped off exposing some flesh. What should I do about this? Thank you!

BluKote spray is a blue colored antiseptic that might work, but it stings a bit. Were the others pecking at her, or do you have a rooster? If you need to separate her, you can use a wire dog crate with food and water. Then I would put some plain antibiotic ointment on it until it heals.

Thank you very much! Yes I do have a rooster and he is very aggressive sometimes
