My two year old chicken is recovering from a fly strike. I noticed her weakening over the last few months. Laying down a lot, loosing her belly feathers. Thought it could be brooding, or mites, or molting; but then she started having trouble walking. After an exam I discovered she was suffering from a fly strike. She is on day three of treatment, but still can’t walk well. She is eating and drinking. Could this paralysis be caused from nerve damage because of infestation ? Will she recover with time ?
