It happened to my polish hen, and after separating her in a cage inside the coop, applying plain Neosporin ointment to the wound for a few days, then later, BluKote to dry it up and hide the wound until the feathers grew back in, she recovered. The bare skin will eventually drop off, and new skin with feathers should start. The feathers probably won't come back for a month and they will attract pecking, so keep the BluKote on it. An alternative to the BluKote is Nustock Cream. Your case is pretty bad, but hopefully those feather will grow back.
Oh, darn. That's what I was afraid of. Mostly because I'm scared to put her back in the coop. She's been out for a week. Although, her wound didn't come from the others, I'm scared how to reintroduce her back into the flock with an exposed skull.
