I saw my 3yr old splash Orpington, Lilly out on her own this morning so went to see if she was ok and I discovered that she had a wound below her vent and it was covered in maggots!!!
At this time I also discovered she was egg boundā¦ she hasnāt been laying as of late but I didnāt think anything of it as it is autumn in NZ and only 2 of my 5 chickens are currently layingā¦
I bathed her in an epsom salt bath to clean the wound and took her to the vet. The vet gave her some painkillers and antibiotics. I have just bathed her again and had another feel for the egg, but I canāt feel it anymore!!!
I am a very worried āchicken mamaā
