Injury - new white Orpington pullet we bought getting severely beat up by guineas. What to do?!

[Oxydziedhens]

Hello! We recently bought a white Orpington pullet to join our flock of white Orpington’s. In which the guinea fowls tend to stick with. After we added the new hen to the flock I noticed she tended to stay away from the flock. And one day I couldn’t see her and when I checked the coop she was hiding in the corner. With injured ears. We moved her away from the white Orpington’s to recover in the aviary we have. and to hopefully give the guineas time to get used to the new addition. And when we finally moved her back with the flock, she was okay for a few days (2-4 days). Before I checked into the coop for eggs and saw her hiding in the corner with blood trailed down her neck.
I’ve attached photos of the injuries from the guineas, and to help heal the injuries we put paw paw cream on it. And but a bandage around her injured areas.
How do I prevent this in the future?? I don’t want her to constantly be getting injured but I’d like to keep her with the white Orpington’s.
I couldn’t exactly get a good photo of the bandaging but she can see as the bandage goes under the wattle.
Any advice is needed and greatly appreciated!!

I would clean the wound well with saline, trim the feathers from around the wound so you can see if better, then apply triple antibiotic ointment.

Leave the wound uncovered.

I'm not sure what you can do about the Guineas. Are you sure they are the ones picking at her or could it be the other hens?

IF it's the Guineas for sure, then you may want to ask on the Guineas forum, since I don't know anything about their behavior.

If its other chickens picking at her, it can sometimes be a challenge to introduce a single hen to a flock. A slow, see but don't touch method can sometimes be successful. I'm not sure how well it will work since this is second time she's been injured and I'm sure she's probably not too keen on joining a flock.

Okay, I will do. We are 90% sure it’s the guineas as they have been seen attacking other hens for no reason. We have 2 males and 3 females so the boys love fighting. And we’ve had small issues with hens attacking each other before but they’ve never gotten this bad.
We will apply the ointments once we take off the cover. As the pawpaw cream is used as an antibiotic. And so we will put some more on once it’s taken off.
We will try the see but don’t touch method most likely to see what happens.
