Help !! Smelly chicken wound!!

Yes, I would continue the antibiotic. If you have bad smell, it's needed.
The most common dose of enrofloxacin is 10mg/kg (I've seen it as high as 15mg/kg in a few places), twice a day. Since your medication is a 20% solution, that should be 200mg/ml. So if your bird is 6 lbs, that would be .14 ml twice a day (for 10mg/kg dose), orally. Depending on the size of your 'drop' you may be close to that, but need to do it every 12 hours.

The skin that is not intact with the body will it heal on it's own or will it need any surgical removal

@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive please help

The area around her tail you can see it looking like blue or something is the only place

OK, that contains enrofloxacin. What dose are you giving? It's usually give for 5 days, so you may not see improvement immediately, takes time for the medication to get in there and work.

2-3 drops for 5 days
I noticed this part of wound today itself as it was smelly ...
Should I still continue with the antibiotic?

Thank

Hard to see well just from a picture. Gently flushing the wound with chlorhexidene and water or saline can be helpful to treating infection and promote healing. Place towels around her, so you don’t get her all wet and cold all over. Where skin is not covering the wound, it will take some time for the wound to granulate in. I wish you luck in treating your chicken.

I'll click a better picture of it tomorrow.
And thankyou
The part seem to be somewhat black and the inside part was like you left the chicken meat in open for 2-3 days..
