a surface wound.

Please take images once cleaned and feathers removed

It looks like in the picture mainly only her skin was pulled off. Does it seem to go any deeper than that?

 

[ILoveDaffy]

Oh No! I hope she gets better!

Try to stop the bleeding. Press a cloth to the wound and apply pressure.

If you can't tell any clear wound and it is that bloody it may be kinder to 'euthanise her' (a hatchet or swift break)

These are all good advice... does she look like she is in a lot of pain? Hoping she pulls through. So sorry you have to go through this.

If its just a surface wound it might be survivable. You only have to worry about her bleeding out in the meantime. Birds cant lose that much blood before death. You also have to make sure it doesnt get infected because that could just as easily kill her

Agreeing here... SO MUCH ANTIBAC... infections are deadlier than wounds in some ways and harder to treat

Looks like she was in the process of molting when this happened. A broken bleeding pin feather must've triggered her flock mates to attempt cannibalism.

Since it's a surface wound, a wound of skin missing she will survive. Skin heals up on chickens pretty fast if it's kept clean, & moist.

I think she's about to die. any help appreciated!

The Theracyin spray is fine to use to rinse that.
It doesn't look like you need to trim feathers right now.
Focus on getting her warmed up a bit. 75 F is a good temperature.

Is she responsive at all? She may be in shock, so careful in handling her - just place her somewhere warm for just a little while. Once she's a little more responsive offer her some warmed sugar water.

I agree... also need to find exactly what the wound is
