Just a update. I was persistent and continued to reinsert her vent daily and I'm happy to say that it has stayed in for 2 days now. I don't know the long term if she will lay again or if it will come out again, etc, but as of now she is okay.... I looked up crystal urates and that is what it...

Yes, it never looked normal. There is and was no egg involved with this prolapsed. I inserted my finger pretty far up in side of her and I can feel her tube,? she is clean inside no egg, or broken shell, nothing. At the end of her tube is her vent assuming I'm saying it correctly which feels...
Update and need help still.
Still prolapsed!! I have been keeping her cleaned and continue to push vent back in throughout the day. It has become white in color and when I insert it back into her it feels like a dried up mass inside of her. There is no egg inside, she is clean inside. Her vent...
No pecking at all! She was quarantined before her vent prolapsed. Her poop was diarrhea with blood which lead me to believe coccidiosis. All symptoms pointed to that based on not being egg bound, conditions, symptoms, etc..... tested negative from vet.. I had it tested. Then noticed the...
I have a 11/2 year old brahma. A few days ago I noticed she was laying in the rain, lethargic, not eating, depressed.....I immediately took her inside to inspect. I quarantined her, noticed her droppings had blood in it and all signs pointed to coccidiosis. Started her and everyone on corrid...
I simply need to know how much liquid corid to mix per gallon of water for my chickens?? I am in the US so, e.g. ( 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon of water) . I Googled it, but came up per 100 cattle or ml, etc....????? Even the directions on the bottle is confusing. The powder is much easier. Note to...
She is eating and drinking. Her poop is usually diarrhea like. She is thin and I do know that leghorns due to high egg production chickens do not life as long as other breeds. I am becoming very familiar with illnesses and can treat most of them ahead of time. I knew inevitably she wouldn't...
I have a 4 year old leghorn that has had Ascities in the past. Roughly 7-8 months ago I discovered it and have drained her twice already successfully. She has stopped laying awhile ago, but she is a pet and want her to live out the best life she can.It has been about 4- 5 months since the last...
It almost looks like an egg could be in there. When I apply pressure to push her vent back in she chirps and pushes it back out. Yesterday she pooped good. Almost like when a broody hen poops after a long time setting on eggs. Today I haven't noticed just cottage cheese looking goo around her...
I have a Bantam about 7 months old, very small chicken( size of a robin) with a prolapsed vent? I cleaned her up and added preparation H and kept her in a cage for a few days. It seemed to go back in. I brought her back out today and found that it prolapsed again. When she pushes she makes a...
Thank you very much! I thought that is what it was, but I didn't want to assume. I know by now owning chickens for 4 years now that when it comes to chickens time is of the essence with health issues because they hide it so well. They are all pets and considered family. Your response back...
Need help!!! Yesterday we had a hawk attack on one of my hens in our flock. My rooster witnessed it and has been acting lethargic and not himself at all. He keeps closing his eyes, stands in one spot and buries his head in his feathers. I'm assuming he saw the attack and has emotional withdrawal...
