She caught her leg on the side of some tin and slicked it open, pretty much shaved all the skin off, what first aid can I give her?
 
Clean the wound with some warm, soapy water. Then, apply some antibiotic ointment that contains no "caine" or "cain" ingredients (those are harmful to poultry). You might also consider using some gauze or vet-wrap to loosely bandage the leg and keep the wound clean. Most wounds heal just fine unbandaged, though.
