Hen pooping maggots - Help Advice

[PlentifulPrairie]

Hi I found my 5 yo hen with fly strike yesterday. She had a strike next to her vent and on top of her tail. I diligently cleaned out the infected areas yesterday for a few hours with warm water/ epsom salt /white vinegar. After it was all flushed out I put an anti infection cream on the areas. And dried her off. She pooped while doing this and noticed she had maggots in her pooop too. So douched her vent with saline and it did cause her to poop and maggots came out. Not tons but maybe over all ~8 (which is enough for me to be concerned!!)

She’s inside my house in a clean area away from flies. This morning I checked on her before work and found 4 maggots in her overnight poop.

My husband made her a vet appointment tomorrow.

What are the options? Is this curable? Thoughts? They are tiny like maggots I don’t believe it’s round worms, my cat had those so seen that before.

Thank you all. Highly appreciate this community.

It can be curable if caught in time. Is she eating or drinking? Warm soaks with soapy water repeated several times over 24 hours or more are required with flystrike. I would apply antibiotic ointment. You can also spray the vent area with Permethrin spray to kill them. Usually hens get flystrike in a wound or from traces of droppings on their vents or skin below. You may want to examine the others, and try to control flies in your coop and run. Permethrin spray works very well inside the coop for about 30 days, and also fly traps are good. Here is a good article about flystrike:

Yes she’s eating and drinking.
Will get this after work. Thank you.

She’s in a “senior coop” with two other senior chickens so it’s an easier coop/flock to treat. The others are doing good.

I think I caught it early hopefully. This has been my worst fear. I’ve had meat birds get this but not my pet hens.

But if she’s pooping them out id imagine it’s bad? Is there a chance for her?
