I agree, the wound looks to be healing. I would just keep triple antibiotic ointment it. Usually the miconazole twice a day for 7 days should resolve most sour crop issues. But having ACS on hand is always a good idea.

I've always used cream, that way I can draw it up into a syringe and direct dose if they won't take a bit:) Oh No! Vent Gleet? Can you get some photos? Vent Gleet can accompany sour crop, so hopefully the yeast medication will help with that.

Yes, just never seen any mention using them before LOL

Since it's just those 2 adults together they will likely get along ok, but you'll still have to watch that Finch doesn't pick at her wounds - chickens are nosey. You want her healed well before you move her and Finch into the new coop with the pullets. Your putting 2 strangers into 7 bird's...

I'm glad to hear she's doing better this morning! I would take out her food water tonight when she goes to bed, then re-check the crop in the a.m. If it's not empty all the way, then I would begin treating that. When you feel the crop in the a.m. is it soft, hard, squishy, etc.? This will...

I'm glad she's doing a little better! The wheezing is concerning. With the swollen abdomen, I would suspect that she may have an underlying reproductive disorder, hard to know unless you lose her and have necropsy. IF there's fluid in the abdomen, then the vet may be able to drain some off...

I like @BigBlueHen53 idea of using a squirt bottle to help flush that out daily. Keep the tissue moist with your ointment, debriding is ok, but I agree with you not to get too aggressive with that. A lot of times that will start sloughing off on it's own. @cherrynberry has good tips too...

Yes, you can post the photos of the wounds. This is the ER forums, so photos of gross things are required:D I'm glad to hear that she has improved overnight!

I'm sorry your still finding maggot activity. Sometimes there can be a lot. Possible they have broken through, it can be hard to tell sometimes. A lot of birds can recover from Flystrike, but some do also succumb to infection or they already had an underlying illness/condition that had...

Staple some chicken wire or mesh fencing to the bottom of the coop to block/fence off the underneath part - that way you don't have to worry about trying to get her out. Flystrike can happen when a hen is not well, if she has a slight wound, has an accumulation of poop on the vent/feathers...

Welcome To BYC Can you post some photos of the wound and set-up? I'm all for keeping a bird with the flock if possible. With an open wound, she might need to be separated to a cage within the run to keep it clean during the day, but if the other bird isn't bothering her, then roosting in the...
