HELP, Chick is barely hanging on (graphic img)

[Eggcessive]

@Wyorp Rock has given good advice. Sorry about your chick. Flies can do a lot of damage to wounds or if there are droppings stuck on vents in warm summer weather.

Can she stand?
Post pictures once the wound washed off a little

The 3rd picture is the initial pecking wound and the only one she had. She was sperate from the flock when we found her covered in flies with the issues on pick 1,2, and 4. Unfortunately I'm at work, my GF is home sending me all of this info so I'm doing to best I can to relay what's going on.

I am so sorry about your sweet little one! You’ve been given great advice. Please keep us posted with her progress. Bear hugs!

I missed this. This does suggest that the chick could be suffering from a severe infection due to flystrike.

Yeah and it looks internalized too, so I honestly don't know how good this kid's chances are at this point.

Oh dear!
Is vet care possible?

To me, it looks like the crop is detached, I don't know how you would fix that. Accompanied with the maggots and her condition. I'm so sorry, I would cull her.

 

[danceswithronin]

Yeah, on review I think I'd cull too.

Poor sweetie she looks in awful condition I would think about culling

Thank you everyone for the advise!!! We are giving her sugar water and cleaned the wounds as much as we possibly could without doing any more damage. She is dried off now and is in our sunroom (not actually in the sun of course) which is about 80 degrees in a box laying on a towel resting. If she doesn't show any improvement by late tonight I think the only humane thing to do is cull her. She hasn't got any worse yet but cleaning get up and getting the little white egg/maggot things off her really took a toll. Will update if/when anything happens.

Is a detached crop an actual thing? I had no idea that could even happen.
