Sick?/Dying?/Old/Fighthing Chicken - what to do?

[Justicedog]

The conclusion to this was she that she continued to have liquid poop, she had fly strike and mites. I ended up taking her to a vet to have her euthanized. Good news though is that I’ve found a vet that does chickens and it was only $30 to have euthanize them.

I figured that as she was old for her breed, it was the best for her as getting baths 3 times a day wouldn’t have been fun for her or me.

I’m sorry

Especially with the fly strike, it was the best decision for her even though it probably wasn't an easy one.

Thanks. I had never dealt with or known of the fly strike before.
