(not trolling)(gore pics included)Chickens neck is slit open

Isolate her from the other birds as they will peck at the wound. Clean it as best you can. It's hard to tell in the picture how deep the wound is but it appears to be no deeper than the subcutaneous tissue.

If the bleeding has stopped (which it appears to have) then it shouldn't require stitches).

Trying to keep the wound clean and intact will be the priority.

Have you discovered what caused the injury?
not yet, im thinking either my rooster decided to do that to the pullet or it was some fencing somewhere in the coop, my rooster is a gentle giant and the worst ive ever seen him do to another hen besides mate with ehr is raise his hackle feathers to intimidate her, ive never seen him bite or bully a hen ever
 
Update: She is doing a LOT better! The wound really closed itself and the blood is all clotted, there is no infection, and nobody is pecking at it! Im so glad she is fine, I really thought I would find her dead this morning, but she lived!
You'll find usually Naked Necks are impervious to wounds made from man or god.

Not really, but if you keep them healthy, they're pretty dang resilient
