    Can maggots survive if there is no cut or wound?

    I'm going to agree with Michael that you should flush out the maggots and spray with a screw worm aerosol. I know it looks awful but I think your bird can recover. Mine did despite the horror I felt when I saw her vent crawling with tiny maggots.

    My journey to change Chicken Laws in Citrus Heights, Ca ~ and keep my flock
