    How does one tame a conure?

    I had some experience with biting with parakeets and also my cockatoo and i watched a lot of videos on YouTube and they were so helpful. I learned the biggest thing was to show zero reaction when you get bit like someone already said in this thread. I had a lot of success with clicker training...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Thank you for all the help and info, it's very much appreciated I can't thank you enough. I have had helping them go both ways and its sad when you can't save them. I was able to save wet chicks once and it was awesome to have 100% success with that when they appeared dead when I found them all...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Thank you I really appreciate it. It's nice feeling like I have people who agree with me on this so I can feel better about what I have to do. I let her loose and I'm out here letting her do her thing for a while. I wish there was more I could do but I feel like not letting her die of infection...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    I agree totally. I now feel like I'm fighting not one battle, but 3 or 4. It does look much smaller today and not quite as bad but there is definitely yolk coming out, broken shell internally, nasty hole where I can see her internals, and with all of that against treating her plus me not having...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Just checked her They are part of the feathers. There is one hole way up above that hole and that I'm guessing is the one that is supposed to be there and by second hole I mean this nasty one. When I cleaned her a while back I thought I saw two vents. I thought poop from one egg from another I...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    It almost looks like the hole is smaller. Could this have happened just from poop being stuck there? I mean like the poop caused the actual hole? Is there an easy way to tell if she's got maggots in there? I think I may want to get something on there to deter flies but what to use on an open wound..

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Thank you! I see what you are saying. There was a clump of poop on her but which was very hard and when it came off (didn't pull it off) the water soak made it fall off in one piece like a cap, it looked like bowl shaped poop cap with a yellow spot on the inside. I wonder if the poop cap was...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    I read the link and it appears to be the same thing. I'm glad I have this site to ask because I really don't know what the heck I'm doing! I've never had to really look at or tamper with a hens but before besides this one. I wish I had a picture of her butt before this happened. It looked before...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    When I cleaned her before I'm pretty sure there was a hole under it. This was not long ago. I wonder if when I cleaned the poop off her his time if I made that hole reopen

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Okay then there is a hole there that shouldn't be there. I thought there was a separate hole for the egg to come out!! As I said I'm new to this. So I'm not seeing maggots would that still be the fly strike if there is no maggots?? I'm almost positive this hen has always had two holes there...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    I'm not sure what I can get to help her, I'm not sure if your familiar with Blue Seal, or Tractor Supply but that is where I can go for chicken supplies. I'm not sure what they have or what to ask for but I can make it to one of them today and see if I can find something that will help. I'm just...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    Here is her backside this morning as it looks now. I haven't cleaned or applied any ointment to her. As you can see it's almost a yellow tinged color and the vent is circular. She still isn't smelling foul and it doesn't appear Any different than it did yesterday. I am going to clean her up this...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    It's her vent, there is no other hole there besides her butt I just double checked. I have had previous issues with this hen with some poop building up over her vent and having to catch and clean her bum off but this has never happened before, and it does seem like her vent is a bit lower than...

    Help hen with prolapse and broken egg inside!

    I was away on vacation and I just got home to one chicken with a buildup of poop over her vent. After soaking and cleaning her it's apparent she has had a prolapse. I've never had this happen so I'm googling and ended up taking a feel inside and I feel an egg shell with parts missing and broken...

    emergency help needed

    Another update in case anyone has any ideas or info. I wasn't too specific earlier because I literally thought she was going to die. I got her to walk around and I also massaged her crop gently. I fed them this morning and changed their waterer and I was running late, so I did the feed and water...
