Triple antibiotic ointment that does NOT contain pain reliever.

No pain reliever in the Neosporin I bought and applied

Can you please tell me where I can get all these helpful ointments or etc today insureds of online waiting for days??

Neosporin sounds like the right stuff, so no need to go looking for different ointments if you already have it.

Give her molasses or poultry nutridrench in water to help her electrolyte levels and blood sugar. Also, normal feed and normal water so she can have free choice of what she needs.

And what kind of molasses? To put on or for her to eat??

Probably any kind of molasses that you may already have on hand.

Put molasses in water for her to drink. Or put electrolytes in water for her to drink. Either way, make sure she also has access to plain water and normal feed.

You need to get her to a vet!!!
That wound is far too deep to treat at home! Its guaranteed to become infected and she will become septic and or gangrene will set in, the other hens and chicks will peck at it aswell. You can give her Metacam which your vet will prescribe or baby nurofen for pain, check her weight for correct dosage, I'd say about 0.2ml of the 100/5mg suspension you get for babies.
In the meantime Manuka honey is brilliant, it's 100% natural is antimicrobial and has antibiotic properties, it'll stop any other nasty bugs getting in and prevent flies laying eggs in it. I would also cover it very loosely In a bandage, a sterile eye bandage (small size, make sure its not too tight) will keep it clean and prevent further infections and allow the honey to do its work in cleaning the wound. You could also rinse out the wound with a hydrogen peroxide wash (check wether it needs diluted first) before applying the honey or a simple saline wash, you can get these things at your local chemist. Keep her warm and give her a teddy or something soft to cuddle into.
At the end if the day though she needs immediate veterinary attention, this wound is too deep and too serious to treat at home.
I wish you the best of luck with her. Its heartbreaking when this kind of thing happens. I would keep the other chick's separate from the adults until they're much bigger. Unless they have a mother hen to protect them they will be picked on.

Do not use the product your neighbor offered— it is a general anesthetic, look it up! Use saline (1/2 tsp salt in 8 ounces water) or a wound spray such as Vetericyn to wash wounds twice a day. Cover with plain Neosporin antibiotic ointment. Leave open to air. Keep chicks separate until they are close to the same size. Then slowly integrate them through fencing.

I've had chicks with similar injuries that were just fine being treated at home. Chickens are surprisingly tough with wounds as long as you don't let them get muddy water or dirty bedding into it while keeping them separate from other birds

I actually don’t have any molasses on hand, we just moved to a larger house so we barely have anything in the pantry. Honey is the closest thing.
I can go to the store and… any brand of molasses ???

Give some sugar water, 1 tsp of sugar in a cup of water. Poultry NutriDrench or Poultry Cell are good to keep around for rescue or a boost innsick or injured chickens. Dosage is 1 ml per every 3 pounds of weight for a couple of days.

Wait where do I get the honey?? And I have peroxide but how do I know how much to dilute it? Sorry for sounding so uneducated but what’s an eye bandage ?

Where can I buy Manuka honey? Does she drink it or apply on her skin? And where can I get metacam?

I’m really sorry I just can’t afford to take her to the vet. I was just going to call to get their opinion and see where I can buy these things that’ll help.

I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT ANY BUGS GETTING TO HER. She’s separated, in a box I change the bottom daily since they poop everywhere and I don’t want it getting in her neck at all. She’s happy, she eats and drinks, but the would really worries me.
I know which adult did it and if it didn’t lay eggs for me I would have her for dinner. Idk how it got this keep, did the adult hold this chick down? I’m so lost I hate myself for this
