Do you have any antibiotics on hand?

If there's still any slight odor, I'd swab it once daily with the Hibiclens/Chlorhexidine, then reapply the ointment.

I do not have any antibiotics. I am Going to see if anyone I know has some. I will keep cleaning her up daily. Thank you for your help. Think she will be ok without antibiotics?

Likely the antibiotics are not needed, but it's good to have something on hand just in case.

I'd definitely give the wound a daily swabbing for a few days.

You probably won't find abx in any store, they were taken from shelves a couple of years ago. You can still order certain medications online.
Amoxicillin is a good choice to have on hand. Another is Baytril which was mentioned in a previous post.

it does still have a fishy smell. I just Cleaned her shin and reapplied the neosporin. She definitely is moving around a lot more today. I am going to try and get some antibiotics just in case.

That looks pretty deep, not sure how far that got down, but you might just pick up some antibotics just in case, even if you don't use them it's better to have them and not need.

Also maybe a bath of warm water? and dry her off good and carefully. If she would even tollerate it.

Ummm. Bathing might contaminate, I wouldn't. @Eggcessive or @Wyorp Rock, what is your thinking on this?

No bathing.
Just swabbing and cleaning the wound daily.

I put Her in the bath to clean her bottom. Where she’s been sitting she had a lot of poop stuck and I needed To clean it off to get a good look at her backside. The dirty water did not touch her wound. It was only rinsed with clean water.

It’s not in the meat. It’s only skin and fat peeled back. There are no vets around here for chickens, I have Tried before. Weird since we live in an agricultural area.

You can get enrofloxacin from Jedds.com usually. It comes in tablets or 10% liquid. Dosage is 10 mg per every 2.2 pounds of weight, given orally twice a day. It will treat a number of bacteria. Most of the time just cleaning or spraying the wound with chlorhexidene, and Neosporin will help prevent infection in chickens. Good luck with your Cochin.

Washing up the bottom as needed is fine, just not the wound.
