Picked raw / how to properly apply bandages / Help?

[Quail_]

Currently I am on vacation and my neighbor is watching my chickens. Today she called me and told me that my year old buff orpington was on her side and refusing to walk.

We were able to get her up and walking again by removing her mating saddle but her back is bloody. She's being bullied and although the fix is simple, it's also not. I'm states away from home, and my neighbor is afraid of my bantom rooster.

Hes being aggressive twords her and again,, easy fix but she only gets help by tomorrow.

I plan on having her wrapped up and put into temporary isolation until she's healed.

At the end of this you may ask me why am I even asking for help when I know what I'm doing?

I don't know how tight vet wrap should be. My neighbor feels extremely bad and although none of this is her fault, or anyone's, she's still wanting to help my chicken and I don't want to give her bad information on dressing the wound.

The photos are in order of events. Unfortunately she wasn't able to remove the mating saddle but the fact that Nugget (my chicken) was able to stand back up immediately after having it almost removed speaks volumes.

Can the hen be separated? I'd remove her,clean the wounds with saline or warm water, apply wound cream or spray, I wouldn't bother with the wrap unless it's really bad

I forgot to add photos but it isn't bad at all. My neighbor was asked to remove her but the rooster is being the problem with being a nuance. Thank you

Hmm. Can the neighbors grab her off the roosts after they go to bed?

The fact I never thought of that makes me feel horrible. Thank you for this!

No problem, it's not an obvious thing

Don't wrap the wound. Just clean it and apply some triple antibiotic ointment or spray it with Vetericyn spray.

Is your rooster aggressive with the hens too?

HI! So she was separated and I actually got home last night, I checked over her wounds the best I could and I didn't see anything too bad. Shes been sprayed and is back in the coop (still separated but is let out with close supervison). She's doing a lot better.
