sick 1+ year old hen

Hi, I'm tying to find out what is wrong with two of my chickens. My Silver Laced Wyandotte looked droopy and tail down yesterday in the evening, seemed she was weak, closing her eyes. I thought she was egg bound and gave her a 20 minute bath with Epson salt and herbs twice yesterday, keeping...

I have a hen covered in maggots. They are everywhere on her butt. I’ve bathed her once in a tub full of fly spray and water. Then another time in water and vinegar. It seems like she has a ball of raw flesh coming out her behind. There are still a good bit of maggots on her butt. What do I do...
