joybelle Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I found a freshly laid warm egg in the nest box this morning and on it was a live tiny maggot. I dont know which of my girls laid it but I am quite concerned. It must of come from inside her. What should I do. joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Have you checked her bum to see if she's got Flystrike? Egluntine's written a fantastic article about Flystrike and it's worth looking to see if it's happened to your hen. The article is here If she's fine, have a look to see if there are any other maggots in the nest in case you've had a visiting fly lay eggs there.
