Do you see any more maggots? Have you used any permethrin to kill the maggots? Try to offer some water up to the beak, scrambled egg, but especially fluids.

She might have a internal infection
And still not eating
There is a mass on the wound
she’s weak
Is she pooping? What's that look like?I’m concerned because there’s a large mass
Not sure what to do about this
I’ve been soaking her once a day
But that’s really stressful on her or I would like to do more and if she’s eggbound Not sure what else to do but soak her
HiIs she pooping? What's that look like?
There's often an underlying illness or condition that contributes to FlyStrike.
She may have some reproductive problems - Peritonitis, cancer or one of a few other conditions that laying hens are prone to have.
If the wound is healing, then treating it with triple antibiotic ointment or vetericyn spray a couple of times a day may be sufficient instead of stressing her by soaking.
Clean the wound regularly/as needed too.
Do you notice if she feels like she's bloated or has fluid in the abdomen between the legs?
Sometimes all you can do is treat the symptoms - get her hydrated, encourage eating. If you feel an antibiotic is needed, then contact your vet or if you are in the US, you can order something like Amoxicillin online.
She might not make it through the nightHi
Yes she is swollen but pooping
Brown now yesterday it was mixed and clear
After I soaked her she’s been sleeping all day not moving at all
