If you have trouble with chickens pecking at a wound put pine tar on the wound. It really works. Chickens will not touch pine tar they hate the stuff. You can get it at a farm supply.

Thank you to all for your advice.  I ended up using neosporin for a couple of days, then switched to an ointment made with sweet almond oil and beeswax rather than petroleum-based.  it worked well, and the little ones are healed up now, and there are even feathers growing in on the least damaged of the two.  they and their brooder-light moved outside today and I anticipate they will be normal chickens; though not ever show quality they may make acceptable breeders!

Well I\'m happy your story had a happy ending!! I lerned the hard way how ruthless they can be when I found a baby Silver Sebright after the bigger bantys got ahold of him!   :(
