Injury on wing

[3speckled3]

When I went out today I noticed that one of my chickens had a strange bald spot on her wing. It looked a bit torn up. It didn't seem to bother her if I stretched her wing out and her only reaction was when I directly touched it. Could it be from getting mounted? I know bald spots from that are usually on the back.

Yes, it can be from being mounted.
A rooster will put his feet on the wings when the hen squats for him.

Those broken feathers will not grow back until she molts.
How many roosters and hens do you have and what age?

I did have 2 hens and 2 roosters that were free range, but one hen passed away recently. So at the moment I have two roosters and one hen which, I know, sounds terrible.

The dominant rooster is about 2 1/2, and the other rooster and hen are a little over a year. The younger rooster doesn't really try and mate with the hen, though, since the older rooster is dominant. He usually gets chased if he even goes near her. We are getting more hens this month to make up for it.

I can't see from the photograph exactly where on the wing the wound is in relation to the hens shoulder.
I would check your roosters spurs one night as he roosts. If they are sharply pointed and/or have rough sharp edges along the spur then you can gently file the point off slightly rounding the end of the spur. It is also worth checking their toe nails for sharp ragged edges. I do from time to time have to give a couple of the roosters here a manicure. An ordinary nail file is fine for the job. It takes seconds and you do not need to file much off.
I would also mention that the domestic chickens ancestors, the jungle fowl live in very small groups with one senior rooster and two, or three hens. More hens do not necessarily solve the problem of 'over mating' or plumage damage.
What may aggravate this condition is have a rooster that is two large and/or too heavy for the hens. Keeping a single breed often helps with this.

I see, then likely it's damage from mating.
You can try a saddle, but those don't completely protect a hen from feather damage.
I agree with checking the nails and spurs.

Is she eating/drinking o.k. - no signs of hiding or running from the roosters?
Separation can also work. I'm not talking about getting rid of birds, I'm talking about penning up 1 or both roosters - give them separate quarters or pen them occasionally to give the hen a break. A lot depends on your set-up.

Getting more hens may help, but how old are they? Are they mature, started pullets, etc.? How do you plan on quarantining them and then integrating them? How much room do you have - coop/run space. Do you have a plan if things are not going well and need to make some separations?
These are things to think about. If you do not free range and confine your flock like most of us do, you need to have some measures in place for separation. Nothing may happen and all is well, but being prepared goes a long way.

She eats and drinks very well, and does not show any sign of fearing the roosters.

We are getting pullets. My mother knows a family who is going to be selling some soon and we plan to purchase them. We will have them in a pen that has sort of like an introducing area in it. It's a roomy coop with roosts and nesting boxes located inside with a tunnel leading to a large fenced up area for them to run around. The fencing is wide enough for the pullets to get to know our other chickens until the are ready to be released. Then we will slowly introduce them to our others to see how they react with direct contact.

We do have 2 isolation pens set up and we actually did have to keep a rooster in one for a while.

I did file both his spurs and his nails since they were pretty sharp. We had a dog file that did the trick.

Sounds like you have it planned out!
I hope it all goes well for you.
