I think other hens are pecking her comb. How should I treat and prevent them from continuing to peck?

Last week I noticed a small scab on her comb. It looked like it had finally healed this morning and then an hour later it looked like this. I keep finding mixed answers on what to do/how to prevent so I’m not sure what to do but I’m running to tractor supply after work and want to get the right supplies. Thanks!

Can she be catching it on a feeder or water? Just get dab some neosporin on it if you feel it necessary, save your money.

Spend some time with them. Are they all pecking her? Is she low in the pecking order? Are they over crowded? Are you feeding a 16 or 20% protein balanced chicken feed, and not a lot of treats or scraps? I would separate her for a day, so they don’t peck at the red blood. It will be black soon. Make sure they are getting out to roam around some each day.
