    Preventing flystrike

    I sprayed elector PSP around her vent and inside the coop every few days.fly's are buzzing like crazy right now, in and out of the coop, so I'm trying to clean where they roost every few days. The ground is just plywood and straw. The one hen is back to normal. She maybe has laid an egg, she has...

    She is acting completely normal now, and we are going to let her sleep in the coop tonight. Still no egg though. Is it a good idea to keep her in the coop overnight? Also, how often do you spray the elector psp?

    Preventing flystrike

    She's with everyone since this morning and so far no egg. She didn't even sit in her box. But, other than that she is acting fine. She wants treats now, something she didn't even bother when she was sick a few days ago, and she is moving and running. She is a bit lame still, but she does run...

    Preventing flystrike

    We are going to let her back in the coop today so maybe she can lay in her box. She has her own nesting box and won't lay anywhere else, so we are going to see if that is the problem. If not than we will bathe her again. She is acting almost completely normal, eating, drinking, pooping, and her...

    Preventing flystrike

    We gave her another bath today. She is pooping and eating. Her poops are not as big as usual, but still fairly large. They are a bit watery, but mainly solid. We still have her isolated in our house, but we will likely bring her outside tomorrow with everyone else. Her one poop had some...

    Preventing flystrike

    Still acting the same this morning. She lays the largest eggs out of anyone almost daily, so not having an egg yesterday was a bit worrying. We will have to see today if she lays. She was pushing a bit, so we will bathe her in Epsom salt again. How long do you think egg bound would last, and how...

    Preventing flystrike

    We bathed her in Epsom salt for 20 minutes today and she is inside right now and not in the coop with the others. She was very calm during that and afterwars she was trying to push but no egg was coming out so we think it is egg bound. We also fed her some electrolytes in water, and will have to...

    Preventing flystrike

    We bought the elector PSP and its coming today which is good. She is just standing huddles with her eyes closed right now. This morning when we let them out at 7 she was fine, but now suddenly she is acting so strange, and I'm not sure if it would really be that sudden. The flies were not out at...

    Preventing flystrike

    Now I'm worried. I went down there a minute ago her butt is way worse. I gave them strawberry treats, and usually she attacks them, but she didnt even run over this time. She is acting very strange and I am worried since fly's are out now and buzzing around.

    Preventing flystrike

    I cut the twos back feathers a few days ago and the one Orpington is good now, the other not so much. Her bottom is clean, but down from it is very muddy and dirty. I could see her bare skin pretty well because some of the feathers fell off, and it is red around the feathers. Its very low...

    Would fly tape hanging inside the chicken coop work well too?

    Preventing flystrike

    I heard that fly strike could be very bad for our chickens so I was wondering a few things. Two out of our 10 chickens have dirty butts, and I worry that that could be a problem as we enter the later months of spring. We have fly's around all the time now. Our run is all dirt and our hens dust...
