Update 3 - unfortunately, it happened again. Her bottom was okay, we had stopped treatment, but then she laid an egg 2 days ago. Now we are back to square one and treating her the same way as before. A question to everybody - will it be like this now until she dies or stops laying eggs? How...

Definitely! We will continue with the calcium and the cream on the bottom for another week and then yeah, we really keep an eye on her. Thank you for the advice!

Update no 2 - she is okay(ish)! After a week of treatment, her vent finally went in on Saturday and her bottom looks great! She is eating, pooping, and walking around like nothing happened. The only thing is that she still screams once in a while, it appears when she puts too much pressure on...

A little update - unfortunately there is no change :( we have given her more baths, use the hydrocortisone cream, gave her calcium citrate and it is still the same right now. She is eating and pooping, but still screams everytime she pushes the vent out. It kind of looks like she is trying to...

Last Sunday we discovered that one of our chickens has a prolapsed vent. We have done everything we could find online to heal her, incl. we put her in the dark, we are giving her vitamins, wash her bottom daily etc. It is now a lot better than 4 days ago, but the prolapse is still there. We also...

Dear all, 2 weeks ago one of my chickens started heavily breathing - she was stretching out its neck to exhale and pulled her neck back to her body to inhale. She also became quite lethargic, stopped drinking and eating, wasn't moving around a lot. I had to feed her myself. We got...

Dear all, 2 weeks ago one of my chickens started heavily breathing - it stretched out its neck to exhale and pulled its neck close to its body to inhale. It became quite sluggish and didn't really want to eat or drink (I had to feed her). We got antibiotics from the vet who wasn't really sure...
