I have 3 quail, 2 females and 1 male. The bigger female picks on the smaller female. She has no feathers on her back and her head is bleeding. What should I do?

I was hoping u see this was about to tag u xxx this woman knows lot more then me hun xxxIt will heal. Separate her for now, make sure she's warm and the wound is clean. I would recommend getting your boy at least one more hen, preferably 2 or 3. When this one is healed, separate out the aggressive hen for a couple of days then reintroduce her. This may work to curb her aggressiveness. Be prepared for it to not work, as well, though. Then you need to decide whether or not to keep your aggressive hen.
I have separated the small hen before and she got really skinny during that time. Anything I could do to prevent that? And how should I clean her wound?It will heal.
