Chicken has yellow diarrhea but is eating

[karin0963]

One of my two barred rocks has yellow diarrhea and missing feathers from her backside and tail. They are 4 y.o. and both birds have stopped laying these past couple months. She is eating and drinking and not lethargic. Would AVC in water help? Thank you.

Can you send pictures?

I will try tomorrow. I had covered it up earlier.

Is there any other behavior changes?

I'm usually gone all day, but today I noticed she was in the nesting box and then sat in the coop by herself for a while. They free range during the day.

Here are pics I took this morning. Her backside looks like it has some blood, and below her roost has a lot of ants where she pooped. There is no sign of yellow.

I gave her a bath in Epsom salt and iodine. Some parasites appeared in the water, they are eating at her backside. Can anyone identify?

Upon closer look, she has a huge wound filled with these. I did some research and it appears to be fly strike (maggots). They are too far in her that we don't think she can be saved.
