Oh dear.,

My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and May May.

Please keep us informed, OK?, and , of course, tell 'Bird " Hello " and give him a Big Hug and Kiss for me..

Im a great listener..

'Bird knows something is up. He has been trying to protect her from everyone else. He is so concerned about her. He seems to know that I am trying to take care of her. When I come into the coop he jumps down on the floor and runs over to me and then runs over to her. Breaks my heart!!!!!! and who says they dont feel?

We all know 'Bird is such a good boy and is doing what he is genetically programmed to do.

I Know they have feelings for their flock mates and that goes for the hens as well.

On June 15, my son's birthday, he went to tend to the flock and found his favorite hen floating !!

Now her flock mate, another 1 1/2 yr old Barred Rock has not laid an egg since that day !
Talk about worried , I don't know what else to do. We think it's still trauma.

We know you are doing Everything in your power ( as is 'Bird ).

I'll be thinking about her and still praying of course.

Fishnet, how is MayMay?

Just realized someone asked this earlier. Hoping she is okay. Thinking about you both today.

Well Friday afternoon I brought her in washed the area up really good again ready to apply more SWAT and let her cool off some in the air. The area that they had crawled under the skin is totally black and blue. Looks just aweful. Like someone beat her up. BUT no infection and no more maggots. Vent looks good, the bad area has a scab and looks healthy. She is in great spirits, talking to me, bright eyes (no more goop coming out of it).

Sunday? she looks GREAT!!!!!!!!! bruised area is down to a smaller size, no maggots and she is doing awesome. we are out of the woods i do believe. Oh Maymay..... such a trip she is.

This am she is bouncing around pigging out and looks just wonderful. Put on some more swat. No one is picking on the area because it is hidden under her wing and the vent area is healing up nicely. We got SO lucky!!!!!

On another note, I did find a fly spray at TSC that's new and is all natural made with mostly oils. It does seem to work great! I sprayed around the area that had the flys and onto Maymays butt. No issues, no flys. AND it is all natural. I little expensive for the spray bottle, but well worth it I think.
She is on the mend! doing just great. Thank God.

She is back to 95% today!!!!!!!!! You GO girl....
