My poor leghorn hen, beaten up by rooster?? (PIC)

[BellLisamo]

I recently got 2 free chickens from a previous owner... well the hen looks like this..

and im new to this. I'm assuming the rooster did it to her, so i immediately seperated the two.

Is there anything i can put on her back to heal faster or should i let it heal on its own?

Triple antibiotic ointment and blue Kote. Keep her separated or get her a saddle.

I second the saddle. Tosca's works very well.

I've got several saddles, and they work well.

She doesn't look too bad. The feathers will grow back on their own. Just keep the rooster away from her. I have my roosters in seperate pens.

Saw the roosters spurs off. He is gouging her in the back when he treads her. That will make a sore spot and get infected.

First thing I will do is EAT THE ROOSTER, then I will do what the good folks on BYC said.
