NHR has been acting unwell. Brest bone sticking out, dark comb, walking slowly. Need advice!! Thx!!

[Chicken Chiquita]

Ok, so i just went outside to check on them one last time before i went to bed, and my NHR was bleeding in the back, and i looked, and i saw maggots, so she has been diagnosed with FlyStrike, so tomorrow i'm gonna do the treatment i've done before, and give her a warm bath to drown as many as possible every day, and them pull out as many as i can with tweezers, and then spray on a anti-infection spray, so hopefully this will work!! It did the last time we had a chicken with worms. So if anyone has ANY advice, please help, i would love and need some tips!! Thanks!! Wish me luck!!

You need to go grab her asap. It sounds like she may have FlyStrike and/or a prolapse.
If she's got FlyStrike, then maggots will do a tremendous amount of damage overnight.
Get some photos if you can.
What is the treatment you have done before?

Sorry if i wasn't clear, i meant she has maggots, so, yes, FlyStrike, i don't think she has a prolapse though, so she was kinda dirty in the back so just 30 minutes ago we gave her a lukewarm bath, and cleaned that off, and drowned as many maggots as possible, though it doesn't seem as bad as i thought it would be, and after that we pulled out as many with tweezers as possible, than i isolated her and put her in a clean cage with water and food, so hopefully it will help, and we will do the same stuff tomorrow, and thats the treatment, and it worked on my other chicken when she got her tail pulled off by a dog and the area got infected. Did that make sense?? Thanks for the link, i read it and it was helpful. Any other advice?? Have you had this happen?? What did you do?? Thanks.

Thankfully I have not had this happen. I hope you are able to get rid of all the maggots. I would check carefully to make sure there's no wound or infection.

Oh, good. She seems to be getting better, so hopefully she will fully recover. Still has trouble with balance though. There doesn't seem to be any kind of a wound or infection.

No more maggots on her?
Sorry that her balance is still off, hopefully with your extra care and hydration, she will start to improve.

I hope so too... I think there might be something else wrong with her too, but i'm not sure. We will hopefully give her another bath today to drown any maggots left it there are any... Thanks again for your support and advice!!
