I am so happy and over joyed Mr Robot will be ok. Thanks to your friends fast thinking and the Vets. Have a wonderful and Blessed day!
Thank you
But it has that why I am watching I also subscribe and liked
Make some research on sea water, Chlorine Dioxide(Dr. Andreas Kalcker) and red led light therapy (I use all these for myself and my family)...🙏🏻
Saudações desde o sul do 🇧🇷 🧉🇧🇷
@@gusper314 I have a full-body red light panel and I love it! I also have a little one. Shohld have used that on Mr. robot but just didn’t think of it!
Hey everyone! My hen had a very deep wound, you could see her spine and a fly laid eggs. I rinsed it thoroughly with saline and poured 50% DMSO solution on it twice a day for 5 days. The flies didn't land on it because they are afraid of the smell of DMSO and after 5 days the wound was completely healed and the hen returned to the flock healthy.
As a nurse I thought maggots only ate dead tissue. Clinically raised maggots have been used in in medical facilities for necrotic tissue debridement on humans (because they don't eat the live tissue). Little did I know there a different kinds of maggots and some eat live tissue...yikes! Your video gave me some science education. Thanks!
That’s what I thought,too. Only necrotic tissue? Hmmmm…
Colodial silver is great stuff!
This happened to one of our chickens. I was horrified. I have never seen this. I bathed her in Epsom salt and vinegar water two times a day. The first day was so bad. I got as many maggots as I possibly could with the first bath. I continued four more days. Our chicken was able to heal. The vinegar seemed to kill the maggots quicker than the salt.
That’s awesome! Very well done!
Vinegar and water or just straight vinegar?
Vinegar and water 💧 just saying
Fly strike is one of the most traumatic and terrible things I've ever seen. It's like something out of a horror movie and our babies never deserve to go through that. 😭 I will NEVER underestimate a poopy butt again, my god. I'm so glad your little guy's recovering!!! Sending love. 💗
Im only 3 minutes and 37 seconds in and im tearing up. Not only for the situation but for your amazing friend and her dedication to your animals. What a blessing to have someone like that in your life.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You had me holding my breath until the very last! Thank goodness he's getting better! 💖
I’m so grateful to everyone who watched over him!
Ty Dalia. Yes a miracle mr robot. The Lord gave us our animals to love. And you are the best caretaker of His animals. Ty chickenlandia!! God bless you and your flock
Thanks so much!
I was okay until the very end and now I've got tears! Mr. Robot were so happy to see you quacking around!
I love him so much! 🥹
So glad you're sitter was so sweet & stomach strong!! Bless her!!! ❤ Welcome home Mr Robot!!! ❤
She’s the best and such a good friend. She loves all my birds as if they are her own. I’m so grateful to her and the vet! ❤️
I think it is so beautiful that you care for your birds so much But what i find more beautiful is i feel like you care bout MY birds. I'm learning that chickens and ducks bring a lot of joy and peace to my life as well so finding your channel has been such a blessing. Thank you for your postings.
You’re so welcome! Thank you for the kind words. ❤️
Fly strike is so absolutely horrific! I was in shock when it happened to one of my Serama girls, I cleaned her up as best as I could, it is so traumatizing for all involved. She passed away, I was not able to save her. I have a white Splash Polish girl who from the time she was a baby her butt has always been dirty. I’ve taken to placing her in a big bowl of warm water each week or every few days to keep her clean
I’ve also noticed if I run a oscillating fan in their coop flies don’t gather
I’m am so happy Mr Robot made it!!!! ❤️💓💗💖
It’s so awful. And honestly, it’s a miracle Mr. Robot made it. I’m so sorry about your little Serama. I’m sure she had very good care!
Awe ❤Mr. Robot (& the rest of the flock at Chickenlandia) are so lucky to have you as a mom!
We lost 2 ducks in 2 weeks to fly strike this summer (and one turkey to ants). It's horrific, and I didn't know how to treat it better than flushing and "picking". But when there are just so many literally climbing out of the skin in MULTIPLE locations... it was more human for us to put them down. We don't have livestock or avian vets around us, so it's all on us. So traumatic Thank you for the advice. I'll be adding some of these things to my medicine chest.
Yes, my vet told me that it can get so bad so fast that the maggots will literally get under the skin and infest multiple places within the body. So awful! I’m sorry it happened to your ducks. ❤️
OMG I had to pause mid video and go check my chickies, make the fly spray I’ve been wanting to, and cuddle the Silkie Marshmello in my lap for awhile. I needed those cuddles for strength to finish watching and see Mr Robot. Yay a new robot fam, beep boop! Flystrike has been my worst fear since getting birds, and my husband doesn’t seem to care when I say flies are a big issue. EEK!
Ooh, could you tell us what you use to Make the fly spray ? I saw a video recently of a woman using home made fly spray on her cows but wasn't sure if it would be safe for chickens
I lost my older hen recently to flystrike. It was horrifying to watch her death. She was elderly and already slowly going down hill, and had a poopy butt, which we had been bathing her for. But it hit so fast and her feathers were completely hiding the horror underneath. We tried to flush her, but it was too late. My first chicken loss.
I’m so sorry. She had a wonderful life with you. ❤️
I’ve treated fly strike many times, a lifetime of farming. Dettol disinfectant works a charm to kill them them then use an antiseptic or antibiotic if the damage is bad. Vaseline mixed with Sulphur powder in a stiff paste is a good dressing as it stays on and kills fungus too
Great tip! Thank you. ❤️
Oh, Dalia... first, virtual hugs. For so many, many reasons. You are my main chicken educator. The information is top-notch, presented in such a kind and understanding way. Thank you for your work and for sharing all of this.
You are so welcome!
I keep flies away naturally... Aka I have over a dozen spiders around my coop. Plus a bunch of frogs from the small pond. I don't mind the spiders, except when I'm walking around at night and accidently walk right into their webs.
Oh my goodness! 😱🕸️🕷️❤️
Oh my goodness!!!! Best ending everrr! I did not expect it to end this way. So happy for yoy & Mr. Robot ❤ and his new girlfriends!
I'm so happy that Mr. Robot is alive and well, and that he has 2 new wives. You have such an amazing friend and Mr. Robot is very blessed that he had both of you and his vet on his side doing everything right for him. Thank you for sharing this Dalia!🙏🥰🦆🙌❤
Thanks for letting us know this information. So sorry this happened to him.
Thank you!
Your videos have already saved many of my chickens. Thank you for all you do!!
I love your book too
Thank you so much!
I am SO happy he recovered! Mr. Robot is one of my favorites. ❤️ So sorry that you and your friend had tk endure that too!
Thank you so much!
im a new chicken tender and I just love your videos. I know about these things but I love your videos that show the step by step of what to do if it happens and im always adding things to my amazon cart to add to my chicken first aid kit! love your channel and chicken awareness. so blessed I found you. I also live in WA too, near ID, so its nice to see another PNW chicken tender :)
Thank you so much!
@@WelcometoChickenlandia thank YOU 💜💜
So sorry, hon! I wonder if, with warming temperatures, we are going to have increasing incidents of this. So glad he made it! Thanks for the info, too!
I hope not!
I don't have a vet within 2 hours who sees chickens, this is such vital information! Glad Mr. Robot is ok, he is adorbs!
I'm so sorry that happened to Mr. Robot. Thank goodness you have such a good friend to care for Chickenlandia for you. I'm so glad he pulled through. I felt like crying the whole way until you said he made it. Thank you for telling us about Flystrike. I knew that I needed to keep them clean and that there is the danger of flies getting on them but I had no idea it could be so bad.
Ugh, this happened to me. I lost a sick hen who was recovering well but one day she had a bad poopy butt and a fly laid its eggs during the day while i was at work and the next day she was gone!
This happened to a different hen after the other hen and I caught it right away. I throughly washed her bottom off and soaked with colloidal silver. She's doing fine now.
Was horrible, just horrible, but gotta do what ya gotta do for your babies!
So glad Mr Robot was able to recover!
I’m sorry you lost one but so glad you were able to pull the other one through!
Just lost our first chicken to fly strike. It was very traumatic. Fortunately the rest of our hens were ok. We washed all the rest,redid their coop with fresh wood chips and fresh chips on their immediate area. Made sure there was Apple cider vinegar in their water, and I think we got lucky with our remaining birds. Tough lesson to learn. Thanks for the info.😊
Poor Mr Robot..What a terrible condition .I'm in tears now I've seen Mr Robot is still there and has two lady loves .I love chickens and ducks but live in a huge city in a flat .Your site is amazing and that is a holiday you'll never forget #800 . Greetings from Berlin :)
I use Zane oregano oil for infections and to boost immune system . 2 drops per gallon in the water. I also use thyme and oregano both in fresh herb and oil. I usually pour a drop in a spoon, spread it around the spoon and use it to mix quinoa (which my chickens love, specially when they are sick).
Homeopathy is used depending on the ailment. Works wonders very fast.
Awesome!
My goodness woman! I am forever grateful for this. Thank you for sharing and educating me. I will now have it in my arsenal for health of our ducks. Enjoyed the "edge of your seat" conclusion. ❤ Happy Mr. Robot ending with his girls.❤
I am so happy Mr. Robot is alive and happy. That fly strike is awful stuff. It's made me more aware of how really dangerous it is. Thank you for the video! I have learned so much from you.😊
An absolute nightmare but I appreciate you sharing all of this so we all know what it's about and how to handle it if it comes up. I worked as a kennel helper at a vet as a teen and I still CLEARLY recall assisting the vet with cleaning maggots out of a cat's wounds. 30 years later, the horror of it is still ingrained in my brain. I earned a whopping $4.25 an hour at that job!
I had tears ready to roll until you said Mr. Robot was still in Chickenlandia. What a blessing. Your friend is amazing and so is Lynden Vet. Glad you and your kids had a nice vacation albeit interrupted a bit. Thank you so much for sharing. I recently had a sick chicken and I nursed her back to health. God bless y'all.
😂❤ I'm so glad Mr. Robot recovered! And his having 2 new lady friends is bonus. Thank you for telling us about this devastating possibility and what to do about it ❤❤
I just had this happen. I found one of my chickens today with it. You are right. It happens quickly. Unfortunately I found it too late. I remember you did a video on it, and watched it. Hopefully I will be ready for next time. Thank you❤
G girl you had me tearing up..especially when you showed he's alive!!!!!!!.my sad tears went to happy tears!!!!
I've never even heard of fly strike and I'm down in Florida ..I'll be watching out for this...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO...❤ THIS CHANNEL
Oh my goodness , this is important information!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my emotions. My eyes welled up with tears of sadness then tears of joy. YAY🎉 Mr Robot🤖
Wow, I'm so sorry Mr. Robot had to go through all of that, but so glad to hear he is doing better. Thank you for sharing all of this information with us.
You are so welcome!
I had flystrike in my flock recently - my beloved Ebony Belgian Maline Mimi got it. I didn't know what it was and I had not seen it coming. It isone of the most horrific things I've ever experienced. I did my best bathing her and was lucky to get a Vet appt later that day. Her uterus and other organs were injured and unfortunately the doc had to euthanize her.
This almost put me off wanting to ever keep chickens, but I am coming to terms with it. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so happy Mr. Robot survived .
I am so happy that Mr. Robot is okay now! What a treasure your friend is. May blessings find them everyday.
Thank you for sharing this information. I don’t have everything that I would need… but I have a list now and can start gathering them.
Blessings of Abundance in all that you may need and may good health in Chickenlandia abound. ❤
I use on my hens what I call butt wash its just warm water and a bit of dawn detergent in a bottle that I put holes in the lid and squirt their butts every night to clean any poop off.
I add dry orgeno in my birds food to try to avoid problems .
I have a injured duck right now separted a few days as she heals
How much oregano? Do u mean oregano as in herb form for human use?
Thanks for the help.
Fly Predators are awesome, when we lived in Florida we had horse, chicken and 5 big dogs.
The predators were our saving grace!
I was in tears so love this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌
❤️❤️❤️
Crying tears of Joy that Mr. Robot is still a part of Chickenlandia and is able to enjoy being a husband again ❤ Thanks so much to your friend for being so diligent with Mr. Robot's care. What a blessing to have a friend like that to depend on when you are away. Thanks so much as well to the vets for their expert care. I'm just so happy to see and hear Mr. Robot out being a duck again and I'm looking forward to seeing the interaction with his new wives. I'm sure they will all be very happy together 💕 God Bless you, Dalia! You are an Angel walking among us and His beautiful creatures ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Oh my gosh that's horrifying. Sorry Mr. Robot (and you) had to go through this. This is definitely prompting me to take a closer look at my flock. Thank you for posting this!
Your voice does exactly what mine does when reliving something this heavy and stressful. Thank goodness for great friends and vets, thanks for the info
Thank you for telling us this. I ordered the collidal silver gel. I have liquid that I personally use when I get sick, so I know it works. Im glad your duck is okay. 😊
Thank you for sharing the information about Mr. Robot. Knowledge is power and thanks to you, your coopsitter, and Mr. Robot we are grateful and more powerful now. Thank you Madam President. 🥰 PS I almost cried. :(
You're such a good duck mommy! So happy that you had a good outcome.
Woo hoo! 🎉 so glad he is ok and has a family now ❤ thank you for sharing this information, good to know just in case.
You are so welcome!!
Poor little guy! What an awful experience, so happy he pulled through!! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea about this.. will be checking my girls today! Wishing Mr Robot lots of happiness with his new wives! 🥰🐔
Thank you so much! 🤖🦆❤️
Colloidal silver idea as drinking water is great, only it should only be diluted in distilled water, as it will react with the minerals from the regular water and create compounds.
Oregano oil cannot be diluted straight in water, it should be diluted in oil or in the egg yolk, which is what I do.. However, you can use oregano herb in water.
Thabk you for this video, I appreciate it❤
I was just looking at my favorite birdie, and wondering what to do with her poopy butt
I’m trying to learn a lot about raising chickens before I get my flock. I’m learning so much from you and I just wanted to say thank you.
❤ I am so happy Mr. Robot is doing better! ❤ thank you so much for sharing all of your experience and knowledge. I’m still in my first year of being a chicken mama and just so thankful to learn as much as I can from you! Will admit you had me scared and preparing for the worst so I’m so happy for you he is recovering ❤
I started crying, so happy that your baby Survived
You are just so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story, and I am so glad all is well with Mr Robot and his new family!!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤🦆🤩
I am sorry to hear it. It happened to my hen Snow White. I soaked her in a bath daily but she died anyway.
I’m so sorry. Sometimes there’s just nothing we can do. ❤️
Thank you!!! I just went through this with a Barred Rock hen.
I'm so glad he pulled through!!!! WHEW! Gonna go check my girls now... again... 🧐
I used the kitchen sprayer . And peroxide. And tweezers. And tried not to puke. Peroxide makes them mad and you can see them. Also check again in a few hours because more will come out. I used blu kote and deep woods off . Because you do not want more. She had a blue rear end for a few days . Unfortunately she started laying eggs in her belly after . And developed more problems. I had to put her down . My grandkids antibiotics come in handy every now and then . Just cut the dose way way down .
This happened to my sweet pea, but we had to put her down. I am so glad ur little robot made it. God bless his precious heart and all of you.
So happy that Mr Robot pulled through!
I so appreciate your videos. I’ve learned so much from watching them.😊 . Glad Mr. Robot survived!
I lost my Blanche today (my Rhode Island Red). Not sure what happened...went out and she was lying on her side, extremely weak. Picked her up and carried her inside and she died in my arms before I got to the living room. She had laid an egg today and was fine this morning and had no signs of any injury..etc. Just stumped as to what happened to her. She was only 16 months old. I am so sad about her passing.
I’m so sorry. ❤ Sometimes the high productions breeds have underlying problems that are hard to see until it’s too late. ❤
Dalia, you are a saint for telling us about this. I have had birds all my life but never ran into this, thank goodness! I have ducks and a goose right now, no chickens. We've been having a very rainy year and trying to keep the run dry has been a challenge. I've been using a bug zapper but maybe need to add other methods as well.
Yikes! So glad everything came out well!!❤️👍
Oh his little shaking legs. Ohhhhh baby boy. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I know. I felt so bad for him!
Omg sorry to hear about your poor baby and thank you for sharing we will making sure to keep those nasty bugs away from our flocks
I'm so glad you shared Mr. Robot's situation. I had a white leg horn who died a few days ago. I cried for a long time. She had ascites for many months. I drained her fluid using a sterile field (used to work as a medical laboratory technician assistant while in college). Initially, the ascites color was yellow. Towards the last 2 'treatments,' the fluid was greenish yellow. That was alarming. That greenish tint was bile. Her liver was failing. The last draw wasn't good, the fluid was murky green with red. I was very consider. Blood was appearing in her ascites. Within a few days, she passed 😢. Towards the end, I was drawing about 375 MLS. I loved that lady. I recently dreamt she will die. God was preparing me.
eaks my heart to hear about your experience. Thank you kindly for sharing. I am going to be more vigilant about watching out for this. I too, love my girls.
Oh ghod, that's what happened to little Jeri before I lost her. I had no idea how I missed it, and I felt horrible. She'd been sickly for months--in that time, she died three times and I nagged her back to life--so I was watching her closely and still missed it because I wasn't stressing her by picking her up. I washed the maggots off her butt and though I couldn't find a wound, I put Bag Balm on her. But she was already in the end stages from something the vet couldn't pinpoint. After her cremation, I found foil in her belly. That poor little bird... I'm absolutely giddy that Mr Robot made it through! Thanks so much for explaining fly strike.
I'm thinking an ozonated water would also be great to keep wounds from infections or to rinse. Anybody with pets, chickens, farm can benefit greatly from owning a colloidal silver and ozone generators. A small investment but can save lives.
Yes, ozonated water would be really good for this. I’ve been thinking of buying a generator but I worry I will mess things up somehow haha.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and this precious infos
Oh my what a stressful thing to go through. I'm so glad he made it! I have one chicken Lil Fluff who has poopy butt. I've been giving her yogurt with monostat mixed and it seems to be helping. Now I'm going to be more diligent about this! I had no idea about fly strike. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate all you do
Phew, so glad Mr R made it! I've never heard of fly strike. Thanks for this awareness video.
Thanks for sharing the difficult things with us. I learn a lot from you. 💜
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much. Your advice always comes at the right time. I was just looking at my 1 hen who has a poopy butt. Going out to check as soon as this video is done.
I didn’t even know about this one. Thank you. It’s been an extremely wet and humid summer where I live. I will keep a closer eye on them and be a little quicker at giving them baths when they have poop on their fluff.
HELP
How touching..Also I am currently nursing my chicken with a dropper, she was nearly dead from DIARRHEA..using garlic, fresh oregano, apple cider and electrolytes in her water dropper..I separated her from other birds..o also doing Epsom salt soaks..ANY THING ELSE ..I will now add colloidal silver..NO maggots noted TY!
Thankyou for your info glad hes better
I choked up when you got him some girls! ♥️♥️. THANK YOU for all the info 😍
I'm so happy for you and Mr. Robot!
FYI for anyone wanting to use “hot” oils like oregano, peppermint, cinnamon on animals… they do burn but they work very well- YOU MUST dilute!!! If putting in water YOU MUST have the oil absorb FIRST in baking soda or epsom salts before dissolving in water- if you don’t… the oil will sit on top of the water and be full strength (unless you literally put it in a water bottle and shake it really really well right before application)
Great story even better ending awesome! You do love MR. Robot you can’t go wrong with love.. ❤
Oh my goodness! How dramatic!😱So glad there was a happy ending.😊 What a wonderful friend you have to do all of that for Mr. Robot. Now I have to go and check all of my chickens so they're not poopy or wounded...
By the way, some advice from an Oregano-oil fanatic: Use it!😁 It's amazing for chickens. Haven't had a chicken with a cold since I started using it about 2-3 years ago. But, never ever put it straight in water. It won't mix with water and will burn the chicken that happens to drink it. For daily use, dilute in veg oil and mix in the feed. 5-8 drops in 1 tbsp veg oil is perfect for my 20 chickens😊 sorry for the rant!😅
Haha no need to be sorry! I agree Oregano oil can be caustic. One time I put some right on my tongue, straight! Oops!!!
Thankfully you have a very good friend ❤️
Dalia, you are amazing! And super cute in this video, too! Despite the issue that occurred on Chickenlandia while you were out of town, i hope your vacation was otherwise joyous. Thank you for the advice on fly strike control! 🤗
We actually had a great time. I’m so lucky to have such good people caring for my birds. The entire veterinarian’s office fell in love with Mr. Robot!
You are amazing that’s all I can say. God Bless You and your Family !!!
Thank you! You too!
I'm so happy your Duck is still alive.
Thanks for sharing. I am so thankful Mr Robot is recovering!
Yay for Mr. Robot! Good info, our fly trap just arrived last week and just set it up two days ago with the fermented bait. So good to hear that the flies aren’t just an annoyance, but good to know we can potentially prevent this too. Thank you!
Omg new fear unlocked. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes on our girls.
I hope you do know just how special you are ♥️🤗♥️
so happy for you and Mr. Robot!!!
