What do you mean by "not doing well"? Does she have wounds that need to be treated? If so, how long ago did this happen?
 
It happened last night probably around 8, they got her neck pretty good, she has made it threw the night andthere us no more bleeding. I have her in the house now. But sure if in should put my other 2, 3 month old silkier in a different pen it not? To keep the ones away from them that are doing the pecking
 
When I had guinea cocks who attacked a chicken in the neck. It was ugly and open and bleeding, but she seemed alive, so I took her inside in a bin, bathed her neck in warm water and antibacterial soap(a teeny bit), and applied my version of Blue Kote on there. It's a chamomile-based antibiotic type stuff like you'd put on your own cuts before a bandaid. Then I dried her off in a towel in the sun and waited. After a few weeks, she was healed.

Side note - She was the second mama the cocks went after. The first one was not saveable. We culled the boys. Hope this helps.
 
Thank you for your help!! She's hanging in there, I think she's still in shock from what happened, I hope she pulls threw
