    Awful fly strike, considering euthanasia, please help.

    After an assessment a vet at our local humane society confirmed that it was too late for treatment. Phoenix was humanely euthanized this afternoon.

    Awful fly strike, considering euthanasia, please help.

    We’re currently looking for humane euthanasia as I don’t think there’s any other way we can help her

    Awful fly strike, considering euthanasia, please help.

    This is the current state of her. The bugs have gotten super far in and there are still quite a few.

    Awful fly strike, considering euthanasia, please help.

    Hi, My Speckled Sussex named Phoenix has fly strike over a patch of her behind about 4 square inches with some maggots around 3/4 inch deep. I’ve bathed her 5 times and I’m currently typing this with my right hand as I hold her bum below water with my left for a 6th time. I’ve gotten roughly...

    Extreme fly strike and an unfortunate dilemma

    It’s really bad, I can’t handle seeing her like this and so far nothing is helping. I’m really freaking out. I’m gonna try vetricyn and more washing I’ll be back to update.

    Extreme fly strike and an unfortunate dilemma

    Hi yall, I have a 3 year old Speckled Sussex who I discovered this morning to have pretty severe fly strike. Around 4 square inches of her rear is infested with writhing maggots and eggs.

    I made a stupid mistake, please tell me how bad it is.

    Hi, it’s summer and my ladies were being absolutely swarmed by mosquitoes. There were at least a hundred on the ceiling and walls, and I felt terrible for my chickens. So, without thinking whatsoever, I went and got some bug spray and sprayed a bit on the ceiling and walls. The coop is a...

    Older girl becoming lethargic, panting at odd times, and mustard yellow diarrhea.

    It is a lot hotter out here lately, we're going to pickup some vet RX later today and try that.

    Older girl becoming lethargic, panting at odd times, and mustard yellow diarrhea.

    Hi, my 4 year old Americana is showing some symptoms. She's constantly breathing heavily, is being lethargic, and is having mustard yellow droppings. She's had issues with respiratory infections in the past but I'm not sure that this is what it is. Any help is appreciated.

    Update: the only thing that's changed in the last couple of days is a handmedown waterer. I've switched back to the old one and put some antibiotics in, hopefully we'll see some results.

    Older girl becoming lethargic, panting at odd times, and mustard yellow diarrhea.

    Hi, my beautiful Americana has been acting weird the last two days. She is lethargic and constantly breathing heavily. She's having mustard yellow diarrhea quite frequently and mostly just standing around. She's maybe 4-5 years old and this is a really sudden change so I don't think it has to do...

    That's a great idea but there's too many of them
