Yeah

Have you cut off the feathers yet and cleared out the wound (hate to be pushy, just want to give this girl the best chance!!)

no worries about being pushy! I wiped down the wound. and sprayed it with disinfectant.

Blood / Red seems to make the flock go nuts. If you can get the bleeding under control, and keep the wound clean, make sure you have a place to quarantine her away from the rest of the flock. Everyone on here is right, first priority is stopping / controlling the bleeding, then infection, then the process of recovery. I don't know that much about wounds like this, but I know that when trimming a birds beak if it bleeds you can use cornstarch to clot the wound (I WOULDN'T DO THIS until you get some more people to confirm this as a good idea. I am just telling you what I've learned. A beak bleed is different than this...)

But she needs to be kept away from the others once the wound has been treated. I'll link a youtube video I found in which a guy handles a similar situation. Wishing you two the best!

Good luck!
Looks like you have it all under control. Keep us posted.

Hopefully, she is just meek and in shock because of the foock members attacking her. Offer her fluids often up to her beak and encourage her to drink. Watery chicken feed in a small bowl, scrambled bits of egg, and canned cat food or tuna are all good in moderation to tempt her to eat. Her wounds should all heal eventually. When she is better, I would place her in a dog crate near the others so they will stay familar.

I should add, when we trimmed our scissor beak and she started to bleed, when ever we would stop the bleeding she would pick at it and start it again. So just be mindful of this, and keep an eye on her for the next few days to make sure she doesn't pick at the wound.

The ordeal with our girl lasted a while, and eventually we just let her roost and go to bed with the hopes she would be more occupied with sleeping than picking at her wound. So if anything, the first day will probably be the hardest. Once she gets a nights rest, the wound should start to heal. Once again, I am speaking from the little experience I have. Good luck!

Oh no!! Looks like a weasel attack! Weasels usually rip up the vent area (butt) of the chicken (yes I know it's gross) just for fun.
It looks like your hen may not make it.. You may want to put her out of her misery as soon as possible. An easy, quick, and humane way is to decapitate it. Use an axe or hatchet, just make sure it is sharp. Bring her to a quiet spot and calm her down to do it.
Good luck!!

Seriously, I would not recommend putting down this hen with only surface injuries. She is in shock, and she should be cared for, warmed up, and given water and food.
