Would we see evidence of infection in just 24 hours? That seems pretty fast to me...

I can trim the feathers, the brown by her mouth is blood that she goes crazy if I try to clean, that has been that way since I found her. I got a little yolk in her and soaked cotton balls in peroxide 3 times, 2 times yesterday and once this morning. She is resting but will hang her head after awhile. My husband will bring yogurt home. Is her eyes staying closed normal for something like this?

Okay.

Blood in the mouth isn't a good sign, she must have an injury in her mouth too. Along with the injuries on the neck.

Don't worry about wiping her face off yet, let her get relaxed, & settled before wiping her face. Don't want to stress her out any then you have too.
 
It could be possible that she was chased into the fence, and got stuck. The chaser may have pecked her while she was there stuck, or not being able to escape. Don’t use peroxide any more. Saline, chlorhexidene (Hibiclens plus water,) Vetericyn, and plain Neosporin are very good for wound care. Homemade saline can be made by boiling 2 tsp of salt with a quart/32 ounces of water. Leave wound open after antibiotic ointment is applied twice a day. Keep her separated until you see some healing. Eventually, you will want to reintroduce her in a wire dog crate with food and water. If she cannot see well, hold water and moist feed, egg, canned cat food up to her beak.
