rooster has worn off hen's back feathers.

So my rooster is mounting this hen frequently. I checked her last week and her feathers were either worn, or pulled out by the rooster. I sprayed it with wound care and then the blue spray for wounds that acts as a bandage. Forward to today, now she has a nasty sore and another one starting.The pic is before i sprayed her again. sprayed it again then wrapped her torso with the self adhereing bandage wrap. I used the beige because she is buff. I thought about segregating her but i really dont have an option except for bringing her in the warm garage. Being that shes outside and its cold, would bringing her in be okay due to the temperature change? She really needs a brake from his advances. Hopefully the wrap works but i am going to keep a good eye on her.

Poor girl! Get that lady a saddle! I'd think about separating her and the roo until that wound has closed at least. What's your hen to roo ratio?

Saddle for sure. Might also think of filing down the roo's spurs.

3 hens to 1 rooster. 1 is broody and sitting on eggs. The wrap looks like a saddle. do they actually make saddles? I could make one. I sew alot. I did see some online. definitely getting her some. Would warmer air in the garage be bad for her since shes use to being outside?

Yes. It's not hard to find directions if you look up how to do it.
