    Fly strike…again :(

    This is the only crate we have unfortunately:/ She’s inside in our laundry room so no flies are getting to her, but her would is not scabbed over. It’s about the size of a quarter 😬

    Here is the crate I have her in. Do you think this is big enough for two full size hens?

    Fly strike…again :(

    Forgot to add: Last time I gave her antibiotics that I would mix in her food. I planned on doing that this time too, but the no eating 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also gave her a dose of Miconidazole incase she has vent gleet thats causing this reoccurrence. Maybe I should keep giving her that several more days?

She’s back to her normal self, eating and drinking well and enjoying her life. We are giving her fresh probiotic and...

    Swollen/hard crop in hen being treated with Amoxicillin

    The coconut oil and crop massage is helping! Her crop is much softer now! Still doing the antibiotics as well...hopefully she’ll be free of troubles once finishing them
