Hello from Texas!!!
IMO, if there is no blood drawn keep the chick with the others, but keep an eye on it.
If blood is drawn, isolate in a cage but keep in the coop where the others can "interact" but not attack due to the injury.
Likely this chick will always be lower in the pecking order of your flock.
