If you have a brooder lamp that you can use, just dont' use a 250 watt bulb. Just use a standard bulb, should give enough added warmth for her. When chickens are stressed, heat helps. If you don't have a heat lamp, maybe an electric heating pad on low with a towel over it. You might also consider giving her warm wet food, scrambled eggs for more protein. She's going to need it, the high protein to help her heal.

Poor thing.. that hurts to look at.. I agree with the Betadine solution but you might consider taking her to the vet also. They will be able to better tell how deep her wounds are, maybe dispense some antibiotics, give better/professional advice, etc. so she doesn't suffer any more than she clearly already is.

It would be way to much to bring 1 chicken to the vet.

I have 20 % protein in the food right now. I might make some eggs for myself, I will give her some too.
