My 2 hens trapped one of my chicks in a corner and badly injured her. How do I treat this? Its pretty bad but the chick is doing well. It's missing quite a bit of skin...sorry for the disturbing images

Yes, lower back. She's about 2.5 months, I introduced her and 2 others to my two hens a couple weeks ago and the hens have been awful to them. I have 2 safety places for the chicks and haven't had any injuries till today. They attack them any time they see them and I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for the advice!Is the wound on the lower back? Saline or a wound spray such as Vetericyn can be used to clean the wound. Then apply some plain antibiotic ointment twice a day. Separate the chick. How old is she? Does she still need heat, or does she belong to a broody hen?
