    Betadine for prolapse?

    Hello, I have a chicken with a prolapse :( I went to the feed store to buy an antiseptic and they suggested betadine, but I'm concerned that it might cause an imbalance in her cloaca bacteria and cause vent gleet.

    Can an egg move up and down the oviduct? My hen is getting sicker, I was checking for a stuck egg and I am confused about my observations.

    Ophelia died in the night. Thanks for your help Azygous, if this ever happens again I will be able to act quicker and hopefully save my chicken.

    Hi, I have been trying to figure out what is going on with my young Hyline Brown, Ophie, who has been having all kinds of symtpoms that I can't narrow down to one illness. Yesterday evening I put a finger inside of her to see if I could feel an egg. I read that I would be able to push my finger...
