I'm still getting used to this forum, but I'm so grateful for all the advise so far.
My now 8-week old Pekin, Winifred, was having an issue with standing and walking. We've been working diligently with her and she is finally able to walk, not great, but she's regaining her strength.
So now today I notice that she's surrounded by flies. And this is what I see.

She just started walking yesterday. I've been giving her niacin, vitamin B complex, electrolytes, plenty of water, all flock feed with oats mixed in, and treats of mealworms and fruits. She's been getting hydrotherapy twice a day to help with her leg. She's never been one that likes swimming too much. Today is the first I am seeing the issue with her back end and tail feathers.
Any ideas? I've been trying everything I can with her

Yep, got maggots! Working on getting them off. Got her soaking in Epsom salt, not sure if that will work. Do I need to separate her from the others? I'm trying to figure that out how I'm going to do that
