Everything went fine after this incident for a while. Until she contracted egg block 3 days ago. She fought hard and we did everything we could but she finally gave up today. She died not 20 minutes ago...

It has been almost three weeks

HELP. Today I couldn't find my recovering hen and I found her making a nest behind my garbage bin. She hasn't been eating or drinking since yesterday evening and she has been super lethargic. It is a wild turn compared to how she has been doing the past couple of weeks. She is in her kennel...

She is doing really good today. She is wandering around out in my little pasture out back. She is lively enough that she attacked 2 of my turkeys and my smaller dog.

I put petroleum jelly on her vent and tried the belt idea again. So far, her vent is staying in, even though she keeps straining.

Thanks anyway

Thank you. We are in Columbia county. Is that far from the vet you mentioned? Do they charge a lot? I know my parents aren't going to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a chicken no matter how much she means to us.

OKay thank you.

I do need some advice about an egg as well, I just made another thread about it.

There isn't anything to block the vent. There is no egg, either soft or hard-shelled, and she is still pooping. I did put a slit in front of the vent so she can still poop. What does worry me is that there is something crusted around it that isn't actually blocking it. it looks like crusted poop...

I tried the belt idea with the chicken. I'm not sure right now if the actual belt is what is keeping her from prolapsing, or if she is just so distracted by how uncomfy it is that she is not thinking about trying to push it out. I discovered exactly how lively she actually still is.

I already did that. By dirty I mean she keeps pooping but it is more of a slimey poop

Her vent is too dirty to get a clear picture, even after I clean it, by the time I get back she has pushed it out and gotten it dirty again.

I don't think so

There is no blockage I am confident of that. She is straining because the scabbing is so bad she is uncomfortable and feels like she needs to release something.

Yes, she did. I think perhaps, she had the prolapse the day before I caught it. I hope that doesn't doom her. My mother doesn't want her to suffer and she is muttering about culling, but I would probably go insane if we had to. I am already a wreck from losing 2 other of my girls in the past 2...

There is no egg blockage, so we are pretty sure she is straining because of the scabs. Should I keep giving her calcium?

She keeps on pushing the vent out so I have been scared to feed her. every time she pushes it out and we have to push it back in, it starts to bleed again and we are scared that if we feed her, she will get even more poop in the wounds. She isn't really drinking but we got her to eat some...

She has a lot of scabbing on the prolapse. Will that make it harder for her to heal?

I showed it to my mom and she looked a lot more hopeful. I think that this might help a lot. Thank You!
