I have a 3 month old chicken that was attacked by a cat, it pulled all of her feathers out on her wing so I brought the chicken into my house for 5 days i then learned it would be best for her to be in a pen with the rest of the flock to make sure her place in the pecking order stayed. She is going crazy in the pen she wants to be with the flock I feel terrible but her wing is still pretty exposed. It’s scabbed over but still very nasty looking. When can I let her back out with the flock? And how can I keep flys off her (I tried wrapping it already she gets the bandage off very quickly). She is in a flock of 7 big coop and I fixed the cat problem
 
Apply antibiotic ointment to help keep the flies away - monitor closely. I would try putting a mellow flock mate in with her for company - again monitor closely.

Thank you, pretty much all of the flock is mellow they all get along great
