Silkie hen with bleeding neck injury! Help!

I'm glad she's doing better. Some antibiotic ointment on the wound will help. (No pain reliever kind)
My burning question is...
Where did you get a full size silkie!?!
Thank you! I’ll get some antibiotic ointment for her!

It’s kinda funny how we got her.. once upon a time... a friend of mine at a 4-H meeting bought some silkies at tractor supply. She was told they were Bantan however, at about 6 weeks old she realized that they were NOT BANTAM! She was upset and gave them all away to the kids at the club. We took two silkies. Marco and Polo. Honestly, I have no idea how they are full-sized. I’ve been looking around for a silkie rooster to possibly breed her with. Bantams are awesome but I look my fluffy full-sized silkie!

I forgot to mention that Marco (the rooster) was super agresive and somehow killed himself.
 
How old is Polo?

Does she squat for the rooster? How old is the rooster?

Some roosters can become very rough with a defiant or uncooperative hen.
Polo is 5 years old. She will run from the rooster and often gets the better of him (she made him bang his head on the ridge of our new bantam coop?!!??!) although, if he gets close enough, or if we get close enough and she knows she is caught, she will squat and let him mate with her. She does not lay as many eggs as she used to. Occasionally, she may lay. I’ve been considering giving her some protein to boost her production. Especially if I can breed her.
