Help my chicken was attacked (photos attached)

Can you carefully, without tearing the skin, pluck all the feathers one inch back from the edge of the wound (this is called creating a margin, and it's something that should be done). When plucking, do one feather at a time and pluck in the direction the feathers are growing. If the skin is too delicate in an area, trim that feather instead.

Once you have the area plucked, can you take new pictures?

FWIW, I'm not just posting pictures that I just found on the web, this is how I was taught to clean wounds.

She just layes an egg. We don’t live where the chickens are and have to leave to go out of town tomorrow. Idk what to do. She breaths and air is coming out the top hole.
