Do you know what happened?
How warm is it outside?

She may need to be placed somewhere warm.
When you can, get some photos of the top so we can see how deep the wounds are.

Clean/flush the wounds with saline, chlorhexidine or similar - what you have on hand.
Apply triple antibiotic ointment to the wounds.

Looks like she's in shock, so gently get some fluids into her. If you have electrolytes that would be good or you can give a little warmed sugar water.

It's a perfect 72 ... as was over night in the 60's . I flushed with saline . I can't get her to take any fluids:/ should I move her inside?

I would move her inside. Use an eyedropper to get fluids and electrolytes into her. If you leave her outside, the other members of the flock will likely beat the heck out of her. Once healed, you can re-integrate her to the flock. Unless, of course, the damage was caused BY the flock. Can you tell what happened?

I never had a chicken in this state but I would take her inside so you can keep an eye on her

My guess is the rooster got her . He's fairly large. The hens saw blood and got her I had commercial chickens growing up and saw it all the time . This time , they are my pets and it's too hard to see

it was done by the rooster & flock . Nothing can get inside!

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Can you take her in where it's warmer and protected from flies getting at the wound?

Clean all the debris off the wound. And put a little ointment on the exposed tissue.

Drip drops of water beside her beak and see if she will take it in or if you have a small syringe, give her a drop of water at time.

I sort of figured it was a rooster and then the others picked at her. Been there with a rooster before. He got gone too - roosters that beat up one hen will usually repeat that behavior unfortunately. (been there too)
