Something is wrong with my baby

Drakes can cause skin to open as they climb onto the back of the females and that might have started the problem then flies found the openings and laid eggs then maggots, just a guess here or a predator got hold of her, but whatever caused these thankfully you are working to get her healed. Keep the wounds moist with something like tripe antibiotic ointment or similar without pain relief. If you have any Meloxicam left over from a vet visit you can give her some to help with pain. And be sure to keep her away from flies until completely scabbed over. And away from any chickens you might have.
