I can't go to the vet.

I had one with a wound like this. I put benodine on it and kept her in a dog crate in the house. All you have to do is keep her away from the others until she is completely healed

She's in a laundry basket in my house. Thanks for the advise. It seems like I don't have a lot of chicken medicine in my house. :/

Benodine is a human medicine... I think. We had it in our medicine cabinet. What have you put on it so far?

My mother just put on neosporin. She doesn't want me to do anything else with the chicken but I think the poor hen needs more.

At this point I don't think the hen will pull through because I'm not allowed to do what I want to her.

Clipping the feathers won’t hurt her. It will help keep more dirt out of the wound. Flushing it with plain water is better then nothing. You can make your own saline...
“Saline is also a good thing to have to flush eyes or wounds. You can buy it or make your own. Add 1 teaspoonful of table salt to a quart/liter of water, and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce to a simmer for 15 minutescovered, and then cool before storing in a clean canning jar.” from another BYCer.
A good wound rinse will be easy and help a lot. If she’s really wet you can use a hair dryer on her. I would blow it on the wound but if other parts of her get wet it’s an easy way to dry them. You can follow with neosporin or honey.
Do what you can. Like I said before you’re doing more for her then her owners did.

Ok so clip them but don't go too far down. I can try to see if I can do that. How would I apply that to her?

You could easily trim them 1/2 cm from the skin.
Without a syringe you’d need to pour water over it. (I doubt your mom would want you to use her turkey baster ) Rinse and rinse and rinse the wound. If you can’t make the saline, water will do. Better then nothing.
I’d let it dry a little so the neosporin doesn’t just slide off. You want to keep the wound moist but not goopy. Same with the honey. It can melt a little more then neosporin with body heat.
I’d just blob whatever you are going to use onto the wound. If you want a cotton swab could be used to move it around a bit.
Do what you can with what you have.
