My girl I took in as a pullet at 4/5 months developed this mass eventually in her neck. We debrided and cleaned as best we can while trying to avoiding taking out healthy tissue although. She now has another opposite side maybe twice even three times as large. The first one doesn’t appear to have healed as well as I hoped. My question is, should I give her a warm epsom bath and try again- hoping the warm water will open up everything and offer better vision? If I can I will attach video. May have to shorten it. First photo is scab the. Removal of scab. Then removal of puss, then what appeared to be open hole, fleshy flap that appeared to be healthy tissue.

I wonder what that could be!?! Did she get attacked without you knowing?

The wound needs to be cleaned properly and disinfected.
Buy some Chlorhexidine. Soak the wound in it. Leave it to soak in. Don't wipe it away.
The puss indicates an infection. You may need to consider a course of antibiotics, particularly if that scab was sealing the puss underneath it.
 
This could be a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, and it can be common for it to be in various locations on the skin. I would clean it with wound spray or solution, and apply antibiotic ointment twice a day.
