I’m posting this for a friend whose hen has had prolapse yesterday and today. Here is what’s been happening.
Yesterday late afternoon my friend noticed blood on her hen and found it was prolapse. She removed the hen from the flock, cleaned the area by spraying with lots of warm water and vetericyn, then pushed it back in with honey and held her hand on it. It came back out, so she attempted one more time. She ended up giving an Epsom salt bath and repeated the process of pushing the prolapse back in. Tucked her in
for the night; the prolapse was in and she seemed better.
When she went to check on the hen in the morning, the prolapse had come back out. She cleaned the prolapse again.
She just helped the hen lay an egg:
Here’s the hen now:
What should be done now?
