My 6 week SLW is missing all the feathers on one side of her head

No mites or lice. Should I separate her from the others for right now? I can put her back in the brooder if that would help. I'm at least 2 weeks from getting the new coop totally predator proof.

I'd get some Pick-No-More lotion from Tractor Supply or some other feed store and smear that on the bare spot, it will discourage the other chickens from continuing to peck her in that place and will discourage them from pecking each other in general because it apparently tastes terrible. Plus it will disguise the wound so the bare flesh doesn't draw their attention.
