I was out with the chicks this afternoon. I can hardly tell Olive from the other buff orpintons now! I am not sure how often she lays. I have 10 hens and get anywhere from 7 - 9 eggs per day. But, she seems happy!

Pretty sure Olive laid an egg yesterday!!!

Olive is now back with her coop mates. She seems more skiddish of them than them trying pick on her. I went to check on them after dark, she was on the lower perch, but she was up there! The prolapse has been in check for days! Now, if she can lay an egg! Thanks to all of you for all your...

My biggest worry is when she tries to lay an egg!

Day 6. Getting a little braver! Still after the lavender plants! This is th vent, no bath! Hopefully time with coop mates tomorrow. Olive has been a real trooper through the whole ordeal! Now if we can lay an egg??? Does anyone have ideas or knowledge about what comes next?

Day 5. A little rangeier today! Venturing out inot my raised bed garden. Olive is in my lavender! She love to stand in it and eats it! Finishing off the water melon. My husband, who I could not have done this without! Taking her in for her nightly bath! Not nearly as much...

Day 4 and she is eating!! That is watermelon! She pecked around, ate grass, ate bugs, and drank lots of water. I just gave plan water today. No antibiotic, no vitamins. It made the water smell bad, I would not have drank it either! The vent still looked yucky! Getting ready for...

This is day 3. On day 2 we washed in water with Peroxide added, along with epsom salts. On this 3rd day, parts of this was hardened. We added honey to the regimine, then covered with Prep H, and held it inside for a while to get it to stay. There seemed to be heat in the tissue. This is the...

Thanks to all of you that have replied. I want to share progress to this point. This was day one, but before the 2 eggs were hanging outside. I was so upset at this point I forgot to take pictures. As we were trying to get to get the eggs out the membrane surrounding the eggs broke. We...

. This is a photo from this morning. I waged it as best as I could, but probably not vigorous enough. Part of it is hard. She sat in an Epsom salts and watered down peroxide bath for several minutes. I used prep H to push it back in. I held it there until it was no longer coming back out. She...

I got her out to wash her off this afternoon. She had prolapsed again. This was nothing like seeing the 2 eggs hanging outside in the membrane. We used Prep H and tucked the vent back in. I am wondering about giving the antibiotic. I started it today, but I am now questioning whether I should...

Thank you so much for your response!

My hen had an oviduct prolapse (I think that is what it is called) yesterday. We set her in warm Epsom salts water with some peroxide poured in the water. As my husband attempted to work the 2 eggs back the direction from which they came the membrane tore. He removed the eggs, one was soft, the...
