Hello everyone. Iām not sure what happened, but she was wonderful 2 days ago. As she is a very social butterfly, sheās always tended too very well. Sheās one of my friendliest. I have no idea how I missed it, it had to happen within the past two days. I went to scratch her lower back like I do every morning(it makes her arch her back so I can easily check her vent every morning, as she is a meat chicken, and is overweight, I like to make sure she had no problems laying the nightly egg, and she enjoys it) well this morning, I did the same as I always do, and maggots. Oh my Lord the amount of maggots. Being so overweight, she has problems getting around, Iām guessing she just stayed in one spot all day yesterday under the shed, and her using the bathroom on herself attracted the flies, which Iām guessing hatched and starting eating her throughout the night. I believe she may have had a small cut from my rooster mounting her. I have no idea what to do. At this point I believe slaughtering her may be the best most human option. Suggestions? Has anyone had this problem before?
