    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 :(

    That may help trying to bring in her sister. I’ve not even witnessed her drink any water by herself :( I have been giving her the electrolytes and probiotics in a syringe by mouth.

    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?

    Fly strike…again :(

    My 8.5 year old RIR has fly strike below her vent. This is the second time this year. The first time she healed pretty quickly and was able to go back to the coop with her sisters once her wound was all healed up. This time we had to bathe her and clean her up 3 times within two days. The wound...

    My almost 8 year old RIR has flystrike. We soaked her and got all the maggots off, got her dry and applied an antibiotic ointment. I have fish antibiotics, Amoxicillin 500mg, what dosage can I give her orally?

    Swollen/hard crop in hen being treated with Amoxicillin

    Quick update: the antibiotics seem to be helping...droppings appear normal. This is her taking a dust bath, happy as can be! Coconut oil seemed to solve her crop problem as well! 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

    Ok I checked her this morning prior to food or water and it did go down some, but is still rock hard...feels like a golf ball under her skin. Any ideas? Hoping the antibiotics will help whatever this is as well :/

    Swollen/hard crop in hen being treated with Amoxicillin

    Ok thank you! I will do that. She weighs about 4.5 pounds. Do you have any tips on getting the meds in her easily? I had been dipping pieces of strawberry in the antibiotic powder, but now she’s caught on to that. Also tried mixing it with water and using a syringe but half of it dropped out and...

    Swollen/hard crop in hen being treated with Amoxicillin

    I’m treating my 5 year old EE hen for suspected egg yolk peritonitis with 250mg Amoxicillin 1x day. Today was her third dose. She did seem much more her normal self today- got off the roost and ate with the others, drank water and electrolyte/probiotic water, and grazed in the yard... But I...
