I'm fostering (and probably stealing lol) a hen I noticed suffering at a client's house. She's already doing much better after some rest and time to herself, but I'm new to chicken ailments and want to be as concise with treatment as possible.
NF mites: severe infestation. The bottom of the bathtub looks like I spilled pepper and there are thousands still on Poor Chicken. I've got the room sealed but will need to disinfect.
Sandy crop: It's down in size and isn't hot to the touch anymore, still hanging and full of dirt.
Mashed foot: I made her a boot and it works Kind Of. I probably need a manufactured one.
Eating and drinking: yes. She currently has access to water but not food.
Poop: Mud. Actual wet soil mud.
