She laid another egg today and this time it was more egg shaped. My backyard abuts up to a 10acre park and the park has some woods on one side. I have some cameras pointing out the windows of my house to track movement. I've seen deer and a couple of possums but never a fox or coyote...

Yes, I believe it did, but as you can see from the pictures there was a lot of her shute hanging out. Some of it necro'd, dried up, and peeled off, but her vent looked all clean after the 10+ days in a pet carrier in my basement. I got a good look at her vent today and it looked normal and...

So my buff (Goldy) and my easter egger (Brownie) started laying eggs on Christmas day. I don't add any extra lighting and in southern MN we don't get much light in December, but nonetheless, they decided it was time to start laying. They have been prolific layers throughout January and...

And finally a fluffy butt picture. Hooray! I am amazed she survived this ordeal.

I believe she is. On Thursday I went to give her a bath when I noticed her insides were no longer visible. Everything was back up inside her vent. However she was still struggling to poop, and usually just dripped white liquid. So I decided to let her free range the whole day while the other...

In the last picture, the bottom has what I think is an underdeveloped egg in it. My wife said that Daisey continues to get more lively and talkative. I don't think she will be able to lay eggs again but apparently, she is recovering.

More chicken butt pictures.

She seems to be doing fine. I'll give her another bath tonight and post some pictures. Lots of chicken butt pictures lol

I googled sugar and wound care and got this. "sugar can reduce bacterial contamination and promotes wound healing"

Washed her vent yesterday and today and applied neosporin, preperation H, and Vetericyn Plus. She has been in a pet carrier for 3 or 4 days now. Some of her stuff hanging out has started to get hard and every time I push it in she poops it out no matter how long I have it pushed inside her...

I wrapped her in a towel and worked on her again. I held it in for minutes. She is back in her cage facing me so I can't tell if she popped it out again. Here is a picture.

FYI I'm colorblind but the tissue all looked like in the first picture. Very dark.

I gave her another vent wash today. Afterwards I wrapped her in a towel and put her on her back while I went to work. I pulled the rest of the shell out of her vent but her insides are still hanging out. I coated everything hanging out in neosporin and preparation H. I was able to gently stuff...

Thank you for the links. They were very informational. I'm not optimistic my chicken is going to survive this but we'll see. Here is how the evening went. I took a couple of mop buckets outside filled with warm sugar water and got to work cleaning her up. She cleaned up well. The first thing...

I found this thread which makes me think it is a prolapse. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/my-hen-has-a-weird-thing-sticking-out-of-her-butt.267272/ I'm going to try to put some sugar on it, after I wash her down. If that doesn't work I will try to push it back in like I did before...

Hi, I'm a first-time chicken owner/raiser and I have 3 chickens in my backyard I've raised since they were a day old on May 1st. Our White Rock chicken developed what looked like diarrhea last weekend. She seemed just a little lethargic but still was eating and drinking. I washer her but and...

I checked on her this morning and she seems to be doing fine. The door I am using is the ADOR1 and it has worked flawlessly. Many people asked the designer of this coop door if it would kill a chicken and he said no. Well, now I have proof that it won't. I'm going to send him the video...

This video is not for the feint of heart. Please don't click it if you are sensitive to the subject title. This happened tonight. I am on my phone now and will answer questions and post more details when I get to a computer.

Thanks for the confirmation. I drilled a small hole in the bottom and noticed that a lot more water was being dispensed as the level had dropped a lot. Common sense I guess. I'm still concerned that they aren't getting as much water as with a standing water feeder so I'm going to be...
