maybe you have a nail of piece of metal somewhere that she could have cut her bottom on.

Just now looking at posts/threads about prolapse and things hanging out of vents... one of mine has what looks like a big hemorrhoid coming out and I'm getting ready to go out there and take a better look and clean her up. I am wondering what you all did for your hens of the pictures you've posted here? Hope they are now OK.okay so does no one have any information that might help me here? At this point, I am just waiting to see if she will heal properly and be able to go back with the rest of her sister hens. Was hoping someone might give me a little insight on how healing goes with a wound this severe or any advice at all. I'm still new to all this and love any info I can get my hands on. Thanks anyway.
CackleJoy,I'm wondering how your birds have done. The ones with the prolapse? Did it happen again? We just dealt with it at our house. Seehttp://cackleberryfun.blogspot.com/2013/10/late-night-chicken-calls.html for details. Since what I'm reading leads me to believe this is a uterine tissue issue, I am implementing a uterine health tea (I'm a doula - going to school to be a midwife) to help avoid this problem for our other birds. I'm hoping I can avoid a repeat in-spite of all the negative talk on google.
I don't know if what we are doing will work long term. It has been two months and we have not had a repeat yet, she is also still laying eggs. How long did you get between incidents?CackleJoy,
I haven't been on here for quite awhile - just getting caught up w/ different forums the past few days. I didn't hear about the others on here, but ours with the prolapse died November 15th. Hers was totally out of her vent, whatever it was, and would not stay in. I tried several days cleaning and poking it back in, and it would not stay in. She had this once before, only much smaller, and it stayed in for quite awhile. Kept on laying eggs, at least every other day, usually every day - and it didn't pop out again, until this time, when it wouldn't stay in at all and a lot bigger. So I left it, didn't read much that would have helped her, and after several days, she died during the night. Do you know of anything that will prevent/relieve/fix the problem if it happens to any of the other birds?
Not sure but I think it was prolapse, by everything I've read. A herniated prolapse? They may be the same thing. It was very big the second time - a little bigger than a golf ball, red, bleeding, very raw-looking. It protruded right from the vent.Was it prolapse or possibly a hernia?
