    Update on Ana 💛 I just want to thank everyone here for your kindness and advice as I worked through this with Ana. I learned so much from you all and from our vet — it turns out it was an oviduct prolapse and she was far more compromised than I realized. Because she was still laying and her...

    Good to know about the calcium! If I understand from your incredible post about prolapse, the intent is to reset the cycle (meaning achieve a hard-shelled egg) — is that right, @azygous? Also - I’ve been holding her cloaca up to her vent after each warm soak, to help her take that in. She...

    Day 3 - Ana's Prolapse Miss Ana laid an egg this morning! It was hard-shelled, instead of the soft eggs that got us into this mess -- so that's got to be a good thing. I'm so grateful she wasn't bound 🙏🏼 I've been keeping up with daily: - doses of calcium citrate + D3 - warm soaks in epsom -...

    Thank you so much @Wyorp Rock ! I’m so grateful for your help and insights 🙏🏼 I love this naughty little hen and I feel awful for her that I’m a beginner on this.

    Review by 'BrahmaMama207' in article 'Stuck egg! Collapsed egg hanging from vent! Prolapse! Oh my! What to do!'

    This article is so helpful to me as I help my hen Ana go thru prolapse — it’s my first time and your share is downright instructive. The calcium citrate didn’t happen first, but it did happen and I’ll be sure to keep it up! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼

    Often lethargic, tail-down and skinny hen not acting like her sisters

    Thanks for your Qs @LaFleche ! I’ve never dewormed the flock (should I??). Last egg was perfect and yesterday, though she’s laid soft eggs before B/c she’s the only one with trouble, it makes me wonder if it’s more like ‘she’s got reproductive/digestive problems’ rather than ‘this is an...

    So inspired by your article. Thank you @aart 🤗 My light Brahma babes are 3 weeks and have been out in the run since they were 1 week, doing ‘you can see, but no touching’ with the big girls. When I’m back from the long weekend travel, I’ll add their panic doors. Thanks for your awesome article!
