Thanks!
I have already been giving her warm baths with Epson salt every day. The flystrike is almost healed! Do you have any tips on how to get a prolapsed vent to stay in?
Can I still give her yogurt or does this count as a treat?

also should I keep giving her a tums once a day?
Thank you for all the information you have been very helpful!

early last week I noticed that one of my chickens had some missing feathers on her bottom and it was a little swollen. I...
