I had a hen who had poop on her butt feathers under her vent. I went to cut them off and she had a golf ball sized wound filled with squirming maggots. Gross. I flushed the wound with saline solution in a syringe and then picked the maggots out with tweezers. It was fascinating. The next day I did the same thing as I had missed a pocket deep in the wound. Picked a few stragglers out the next day......and then she healed up perfectly. Can barely tell where the wound even was.
Faith and her baby are doing good. It is so big and FAT. She is a good momma. No issues since passing that last late dead kit. I am going to breed her to a different buck next month......hopefully she'll have a better experience this next time.
Belle, how old do your does usually produce? This is an older doe.
