    I agree with you 100%. Thank you so much! I appreciate all the feedback I received from this community.

    Something hanging out of hen’s vent area

    I'm too scared to pull on the red tail thing. I don't want to cause her pain or if it starts to bleed profusely. I soaked her and the lash egg is still attached.

    Thank you for your response. I have her soaking in warm water and about to feed her more calcium. I also think she’s beyond saving from the article and also your response. My son is here visiting so if this doesn’t work he will put her down humanely. Sad thing is she survived 2 bumblefoot...

    Yes, it definitely is a lash egg after Wyorp Rock replied. I immediately researched it online and the first photo I saw looked exactly like what is attached to Scarlet. Last night I gathered everything I need to soak her and try to release the lash egg but my concern is the red stringy thing...

    Something hanging out of hen’s vent area

    After reading an article on salpingitis last night it mentioned things that Scarlet has been going through recently. I only have 3 hens and Scarlet laid almost daily and her eggs are brown. Henry and Buffy’s are a pale cream color. Anyway, one hen started laying soft shelled eggs and shell less...

    Thank you for explaining what calcium is for in this situation. Should I give her more than 300 mg and how often should I give her calcium. I don't know what lash material with a tail means. This is the first time I have had this happen to a chicken. I will research it now. If you have more...

    I gave her 300 mg of calcium with D3 wrapped in a small piece of mozzarella cheese around 7. I will keep you posted. Thank you.

    I gave her 300 mg of calcium but I forgot to ask why you recommended it? I have a feeder with oyster shell calcium in their run as well as another for grit. I have everything set up for tomorrow to work on trying to release the egg from the vent.

    No, not yet. I will look for a bottle of Tums otherwise I take calcium and can give her that. It's Sunday and our local vet isn't open and not sure about tomorrow being that it's Labor Day. I have her isolated in a pen in the garage for now. I lubricated her vent with Vaseline and hope that...

    So is this part of her vent with an egg incased?

    I think it’s soft shelled when I first touched it but now the air has dried it and it’s hard. I used olive oil to see if it would detach but it won’t. I will post a photo of it connected to a red stringy thing coming from inside her vent. Thank you so much for replying.

    Something hanging out of hen’s vent area

    I apologize if this is the wrong thread to post my concern. Can anyone tell me what is hanging from Scarlet’s vent area? After I stopped panicking I think it might be a malformed egg but not sure. I gently pulled on it to see where it’s attached and a small section is stuck to her vent. I don’t...
