You can wipe off the blood and let it heal on its own, or if you have something like neosporin, you could put a very small amount on the wounded area. Dad may be plucking the babies for nesting material for the next clutch. If the babies are eating and drinking on their own, you can separate them. If not, you can separate Dad and let Mom keep feeding the babies. Hope you find your little one soon.
