Injured Pullet

[villiams]

My 14 wk pulley has been attack by my hens today. I am super angry at myself that this happened as I think she and a couple of my other chicks have vit b deficiency - but she's worse one atm
Kept them separated but in Australia and now had really bad rain so let big girls out yesterday afternoon and forgot to lock them back up. Like I said. Super angry at myself. She seems ok. Is eating and drinking. I tried to put a dressing on it this morning but it came off in minutes.
I was thinking applying tropical antibiotic ointment ( chlorsig) . Am hesitant to use betadine ointment as I don't want yo further harm her.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Sorry my pics are not good but don't want to stress her further

It doesn’t look too bad. I would see if one of the feed mills near you has something you can put on it, like udder balm. Keep the chicken away from others that could peck at it. With chickens it’s not always as bad as it looks.

Where is the wound? I would clean it with chlorhexidene or use an ointment or cream with that. Savlon , Vetasan, Microshield, and other brands might be available in AU. If you have a dog crate that will fit inside your coop and run, that would be good to keep her with the flock and protected. Provide food and water in the crate and secure them.

Thanks for reply, hopefully it isn't as bad as it looks. The wound is on her neck . I have her in a create in my yard and the other chicks come and sit next to her so hopefully will be ok.

Most wounds will heal in time if they are cleaned and kept covered with an antiseptic or antibiotic ointment.

Brought home some chlorsig ( antibiotic oint) today

That doent look good. better have that checked with a vet... It may become even worse if you just let that be.
