Sorry I meant that the maggots ate off her scabs, not the other chickens. The rest of the girls were very kind to her, fortunately, as she was the oldest of the flock and the matriarch. We did isolate her but then she got the flystrike which caused them to come off. I’ll go out today and check...

I also treated the coop with permethrin to prevent any more lice issues, and none of the hens themselves seem to have bad lice, as they are able to dust bathe.

Hi, sadly she died a few weeks ago after contracting flystrike. They ate off all the scabs and I was trying to soak her to get the maggots off but she was too weak and died right there and then. I do have two other chickens now that are acting weird but they don’t seem to be related. One has...

Thank you. I haven’t done permethrin yet but I think we have some hiding in the house somewhere so I will try and find it tomorrow. I’ll also give her a warm soak with some hibiclens mixed in. I also bought some more Nu Stock to apply every few days. As for the original injury/wound, we have no...

@azygous @Wyorp Rock If you don’t mind me asking, what do you think about this? I was looking over some other threads that discussed chickens with bulky scabs, and ingrown feathers and squamous cell carcinomas were suggested. However, I could not find a photo of either of these things where...

Like, I genuinely don’t understand what the hell had to happen for scabs to form like this. They almost make me worry that they’re tumors, but they appeared suddenly one day last summer, so that doesn’t make sense. However, like a tumor, they’ve definitely grown.

Yesterday I turned her over to flush out her scabs with betadine and apply the Nu Stock. Well, it turns out that there are more scabs that are a lot bigger than I initially thought. There is a third one between her legs that is the size of two lemons that somehow I didn’t originally see. It...

She does not sit on the roost in the coop, but rather in the nesting boxes at night. We make sure to keep the bedding pretty clean and dry in there. The wound is to the left of the breastbone and the biggest scab is several inches below it. She got those scaly leg mites several years ago, and...

Around august of last year, one of our BOs who’s about 7 years old now got a big wound on her chest. We don’t know how it happened and it was already covered by a big bulky scab by the time we found it. It smelled infected and we gave her antibiotic injections for awhile, and she seemed to be...
