Silkie has a cut head.

Today I noticed one of my Silkie hens has a bald patch on her head and there was some blood, so I brought her inside and put some sudocrem on the cut.
I've put her in the coop and left the rest of the chickens out free-ranging.

Do I keep her seperate over-night? She has only been here for 6 days, and I worry that when I put her back they will just start the whole pecking order thing again and she will get hurt.
Or do I allow the other chickens to go into roost with her too?

Lots of people keep some Blu-Kote, which turns a wound purple and hides the blood. If the others see the blood, they will probably attack it. You may have to keep her separate for a day or two. She will be happier if you put another chicken with her.
