Help? Worm problem

[rowrena]

I thought my chicken was egg bound...waddling, tail down so I put her in a bucket of warm water to soak and these WORMS floated up and wiggled around. Anyone know what they are?
I have Diatomaceous earth I immediately put in all the feed. Local feed store only had zyfend, so I just put that in the water. I’m really worried about my girl though. She seems to be not doing well. Any suggestions for immediate deworming?! I’ll drive farther if needed to get medicine.

How big are those? Are they tiny?

Those are maggots. Check out her vent. She likely has flystrike.

About 1/4 inch long maybe?

Ok what yo do about that?

That small they are definitely maggots. I've never dealt with fly strike but I've heard it can kill your hen.
I think you have to remove the maggots out with tweezers after soaking her.
I'll tag some people.

Correct.
Another good soak and a pair of tweezers. . Do you see a wound on her or are they inside her vent?
