This type of scalping injury is fairly common in chickens. She will need to be kept separated while she is healing. I would spray it with either saline, Vetericyn, or half strengthHibiclens and water, and then apply plain antibiotic ointment twice a day. Keep her away from flies. Make sure that she is drinking water, and try to encourage her to eat. Hopefully, she hasn’t suffered any brain damage. It will take weeks to heal, but most do recover eventually.
Thanks! I plan on keeping her inside as long as she needs, and by then Mr. Rooster will be long gone.
