Do not let her out with the rest. They go crazy and attack and peck if they see red so they will go at her again.

The rest shoud be fine, even the younger ones. Cannibalism rarely occurs while they are freeranging - they have too many other things to scratch and peck at and they can get away from one another. It's one of the reasons I turn mine out at 3 weeks, sometimes sooner in the summer - I've never had an issue with them pecking one another. And when I say I freerange, I mean no fences whatsoever. They may stick close to coop, may venture into our "yard" area, may go to the woods - but they have a ball.

I was very proud of the girls today and really surprised that they all stayed close by and did not run away or anything like that but they came in sooner then expected I guess they just aren't all the way use to being out all day and were pooped! lol But audrina went out with the smaller girls and no one bothered her and we kept a really close eye to make sure she was doing just fine. She is no longer red in her vent area its more pink now and swollen but it has not been bleeding or as swollen as it was yesterday. We are soaking her bottom and cleaning it and applying neosoprin as needed so she looks like she will make a quick recovery. She is missing tail feathers tho and its pink. How long will these take to grow back and will the others be tempted to peck at the flesh looking area?

I had the same problem with a 3 week old. She had pasty butt and i dont know if i pulled to hard or just cleaning it everyday made it tender and red. The others went after it fast and made it look the same as your girl. I separated her for a week but the vent was still swollen, like an outie belly button. I ended up putting her in with day old chicks at about 4 weeks and she is doing great. They are now all out in the coop and are 2 months and 1 month. She hasnt had a problem since even though her vent look different. She still hasnt grown the feathers back though....
