Update!!! Our chicken with the prolapse gave her first egg after healing! She is doing great!
Her eggs are usually a little pinkish, her first egg after prolapse is a little pale, but its hers.
I will keep her inside for now. It's still very cold here. It's about -2/+5C during the day.
What if she prolapses again after first egg?
How long will I wait for the first egg? Few weeks? I understand shes healing and I dont want to rush her.
Ok, great! That's what I'm taking about. I guess the black dead tissue that's scabbed over is the opening where the egg usually exits.
She keeps picking it..m is that ok? Not sure how to stop her.
In the blue circles is where two openings are. The black area had an opening and is still pretty meaty and from the opening there is some fluid dripping. the other circle in blue where it is red that's the hole where poop and fluids come out.
Just a little FYI and a little to much info in the...
Tried to draw what I mean...
Not sure if it makes sense.
From what I think it's like the cloaca came out with part of vagina and the red part is the hole for small intestine. Because where its black it also has a hole like thats rhe part that comes out and opens to let out the egg.
Update.
The scab is getting really dark and kind of falling off, not completely ready to though, it still looks like it has alive tissue inside... I'm a bit worried though... the chicken is doing great, shes very curious about her surrounding and is active- eating, pooping and drink lots. It's...
This is an update. The prolapse is getting smaller... or dried up more. These pictures are after a wash, all cleaned up as much as possible. Rubbing vaseline around and giving antibiotic still. She is actually very active, pooping a lot, eating and drinking a full cup of water within 24hrs.

She is getting better, I think. The prolapse is getting smaller.. or drier (I guess it's all become a big scab). She is eating and drinking 1/2 glass of water a day.. sometimes more. She is still getting baths, ointments on her prolapse (honey, vaseline, coconut oil, and prep.h cream) mixing and...
Thank you so much for the info! I will definitely be doing as you say. I can say slowly that is what is happening. It's been a week since I noticed this on her and she is still alive and kicking. So I think so will overcome this.
Thank you again!
Update. This is how it looks. First picture is how it looks when I check on her, there is dark areas, not sure of that's how her bits looked before since she has dark skin or its dying tissue. Other parts inside are red. Butt he white parts are not coming off after wash. So I just lather her up...
Thank you!
I hope it's a scab.. but I feel like the whole prolapse is just dry and yes feels scabby. Shes able to poop though and is eating and drinking... but always seems to push.. like contractions. Nothing seems to be inside. It's been 3+ days.. if an egg was still inside she would have...
I cant feel an agg, maybe its without a shell? But I csnt feel it, it's been a few days and she hasnt nad an egg, but I am keeping her in the dark.
There is apart of the prolapse that is pink, where she poops from (its T rhe upper right side).
I attempted to put prolapse inside at night... it...
As of now she is sleeping (I am 8hrs ahead of nyc time). Prolapse is out in all its glory... I try to keep it moist but it keeps drying out. Vaseline and prep h.
