welcome from New Orleans. I hope I am not too late. I had a hen who lost all of her skin and feathers to a possum. We kept her inside and kept the area clean and coated with name brand Neosporin. It took almost 3 months but the skin grew back and she is back running around with the other chickens. We did give her 1/2 pydiolyte-1/2 water and fed scrambled eggs for protein. @Plsnyder4, please Pm me if you have questions, since we recently went through something similar, we would like to help in anyway we can.


Edited to clarify : My hen only had the feathers and skin removed from her right thigh. We caught the possum in the act, because the hen screamed bloody murder. We ran outside and caught him trying to get away. Sorry, that post didn't make sense.
