I JUST went through this. The only advice I got was to cull my girl. I'm glad I didn't and I'm glad Speckled Hen has been here responding to your posts.
I made the appt to have our girl processed then read more about treatment. We held off on the processing, separated her from the flock and I started each day with a warm sudsy bath for her soaking the feces that accumulated off her back side, on the first two days I applied honey (yes, honey from my food cabinet)and slid her innards back in, the second day the egg came out, unfortunately the egg duct kept coming back out too. Days 3-6 I I applied Preparation H. It's been quite a few weeks now. She is still away from the main flock, is laying successfully again and is my daughter's number one candidate for her Showmanship Chicken at the 4H fair. Before this episode, we could hardly handle her.
