Flystrike

I think I would do a 1 time flush of diluted Hydrogen Peroxide, that may help suffocate and/or make any maggots come out.
You can put a thin layer of vaseline on the outside of the wound to help keep that crust softened.
Is the wound getting any poop in it?

I just noticed you said ONE flush of diluted hydrogen peroxide . I have been doing it 2 times a day. Do you think its too much?

She seems better today, the wound is closing in more, no maggots. She visited the flock today and got her daily mealworms. Still eating and drinking and keeps attempting a jail break when I bring her out for flushing. Her vent is still poopy
But its hard to remove even when wet...

Looks like it's closing up!

I think I would continuing doing just what you are doing.

Poop can really stick, I think you are doing a good job.

It looks way better!

Yeah, it does, looked even better today. However, she did poop green poop this morning, right before her first flush. Her other poops were also a tint of green. @Wyorp Rock ideas?

These photos were taken through some apparently very dirty glass...sorry about that. She probably stomped on it all night too...

If she's not been eating a lot, that could cause green poop.

She has been eating though, could it be a digestive system issue?

Is she eating her normal feed?
I would give her a bit of buttermilk with white cooked rice as a treat to see if that firms up the poop.

I dont have buttermilk, but I will try rice. She is eating grower feed, 20% protein.
