There might be maggots hatching in my run. Will they crawl up the chickens and give them fly strike? I’m not sure of anything but a family member that was helping me got two maggots on them.

Not likely.Will they crawl up the chickens and give them fly strike?
Was the feeder on the ground, surrounded by spilled feed?Just realized they might have been on the bottom of the feeder.
Phew! Knowing my chickens I’m gonna say yes.Not likely.

You as the keeper need to check the situation and correct itKnowing my chickens
I was mostly just concerned about fly strike! But I am planning to cut the grass tomorrow.You as the keeper need to check the situation and correct it
That’s probably what happened! Thank you!Our waterer leaks, and the feed gets on the ground. There were a bunch of maggots under the stones where the waterer and feed was.
You're welcome. Also, get any feed that fell on the ground off of the ground. It'll get moldy if it gets wet. Learned that the hard way.That’s probably what happened! Thank you!
