Welcome to the forums. It's probably a good idea to repost this question on the poultry forum (The Hen House). The injury sounds like the damage done by a cockerel's spurs. :?
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

I've moved this over to the hen house for the experts to reply
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I personally would put purple spray on the wound. (purple spray is anti septic and colours everything purple). Chickens are attracted to the colour red.  I would as long as she can move well enough put her straight back with the others.  

Where can you get purple spray from? If you know anyone horsey ask them.  Or try your local feed merchant.
