Its much MUCH better today!!! I first washed her but with some water (she got it muddy after her dust bath). Then, I flushed her with dilated hydrogen peroxide, followed by a glove cleanup (to clean her poop), and then, I thought I saw a maggot! So I rushed and got some hydrogen peroxide and water, I tried to flush it out. The water sprayed back...and got in my eye . Bad idea...I got some water and washed the wound. It turned out to not even be a maggot


Anyhow, I took the picture after her cleanup this time. Much better!
@Wyorp Rock when do you think she could return to the flock? Doesnt it look so much better? I am so happy for her! It looks way better without the stubborn poop which finally came off.

It does look much better!
Only you can decide when she's well enough to return to the flock.
Depends on if they pick at her wounds, how well she fits it, etc.
You, of course, would need to keep up with cleaning the vent and wound a couple of times a day too.

Okay thanks!

Today, I let her out with the flock for most of the day. I brought her in at night for one cleaning. I will do this for a few days. We have the rooster sectioned off so he cant bother her or me when I go and grab her. So yeah, she is down to one cleaning a day and pretty mich spends her day with the flock, except the morning and at night.

Okay... @Wyorp Rock

This is her second egg after she recovered (no open wounds anymore, she has since moved back into the flock). It looks weird...should I worry, or is it normal for her to have a few glitches after not laying for a while?

Looks like meat spots.
She may have some type of reproductive problem going on a as well. Hard to know, hopefully this is a one time thing.
