Sounds to me like you've done all you can. Keep her away from the others until it heals. From what you describe, I think she'll be fine!
 
Its pretty deep... there is a thick flap of skin and really it looks like a flip lid trash can. The hole its self is dark and I dont know if its down to the skull i was EXTREMLY gentle and did not pry just doctered. My main concern is an infection as she is a sickly chick any way... She is now eating JUST game bird starter for extra protean, and fresh water hose water. She is in her own little hutch with a coop and run design.
 
UPDATE:I'll have pics in the am so hang in there colors baby once people see your head they'll help... weird moment talking to her(and see gust HAS to be my fav.)
 
Okay i'll have pics later my friend knows how to up load them and he'll help me up load them i globed neosporen on it (with out pain killer) and sniped the feathers around her head she is heathy and annoyed that she cant hang out with her buddies lol i thinck she has bigger problems.
