Hey y'all, brand new to BYC so I appreciate any and ALL help and advice you have to offer. I had placed an egg in the incubator that appeared to be one laid by my sweet east indie girl, farrah.. much to my surprise it was actually a rare and weird white egg that is either one of my australorps...
I noticed my 7 month old call duck acting weird and was worried she was egg bound as I know they recently started laying (we have 10 so not sure if she actually has yet or not) and when I managed to grab her a very hard poop like thing is protruding out of her vent. I lubed her up and soaked her...
I am brand new to chickens and we have 8 or 9 day old baby chicks. This one had pasty butt that I noticed this morning. Pictures are before I soaked her butt and then a few hours later. Is it possible she has a prolapse? Or is her vent just irritated and swollen from the pasty butt? If she does...
(Graphic images ahead) I have a 3 year old EE hen who had a messy behind. I didn't get to it the last two days and tonight when I cleaned it up in the bath I realized there was a big problem. What initially looked and felt like a very hard stuck case of pasty vent seems to be a necrotic prolapse...
My kids and I just hatched our second chick but when the chick finally got the bottom half of the egg off and broke free of the yolk sac cord there was some blood- appears to be coming from the vent or rear? Is this a protruding vent? Bleeding stopped very quickly but I’m worried about infection.
I noticed our 5 mo bluebell egger in the corner of the run yesterday, with her wings down and tail down. She’s a spitfire so I knew something was off. She was normal this morning eating eggs and snacks and drinking water, this pm she was back to her quiet ways. Gave her an epsom salt warm bath...
I went out to see my chickens and my 2 year old wyandotte had laid an egg in the middle of her dust bath area. (not normal) She was standing a few feet away with a little bit of poop under her butt, clearly straining to poop more. When she did, something bright red came out with the poop...
My chicken had an egg stuck in her vent which caused a prolapse. We were able to get the egg out and push the vent back in. It has been two days now and her vent hasn’t Prolapses again. She was doing well with pooping and eating but now she has slowed down with eating and is having a hard time...
I noticed one of my hens is acting weird. Do you guys have any thoughts
Her poop looks odd ill post a picture in the morning
she's straining and squatting like she’s trying to poop but can’t and when I picked her up to check it looked like she had something fleshy come out of her vent, but it...
I have had 3 hens in the last few weeks show signs of varying degrees of prolapse. I've been trying to researching into causes to see if it is anything I am doing and what I can do to fix it.
I have been treating them with witch hazel, and 2 seem to be ok, but just had the third show it today...
Hello!
One of my hens (around 1 year old) has what I believe is possibly a prolapse. I’ve tried soaking her in an Epsom salt bath, gently tried pushing it back in and have separated her from the rest of the flock. She doesn’t seem in distress or pain but I imagine it is possibly painful by the...
Hello all.
Quick & dirty background: Backyard flock of 4, all ~2 y/o, no issues until now, wood coop & covered run, hay & wood shavings + PDZ in coop.
Magnolia is a 1.5 y/o white leghorn, between 2-3lb, adopted w/2 others last fall from MSPCA-Nevins Farm in MA as rescues from an abuse/neglect...
I have a 3 year old isa brown. We saw blood all on her buttt area and thought it was from a predator but when I washed her up I saw she has two large swollen masses. She’s able to poop. It’s very watery white with some normal looking bird feces in it. She’s the one who ripped the top mass open...
Hi everybody,
this is my first post and I hope I am in the right place. To be honest I am desperate. I am close to tears so please bear with me. WARNING nasty photos enclosed.
My 4 yo indian runner duck has had a vent small prolaps over easter, which we managed to get back in over the course...
Hello again.
Our gander is nearly 2 years old and has 2 almost 1 year old geese for girlfriends. One is smaller and he must favor her because she is missing a lot of feathers on her head. The other is a bit larger and he seems to have trouble finishing the deed with her just because of the size...
This flock of barred rocks are not yet a year old, but they have reached laying maturity and have been laying for a few weeks now. One of them had a poopy butt which I thought was normal because their was no evidence for vent gleet. Tonight I found a hen shaking underneath the coop's house/roost...
Our first (and early) chick just hatched but it looks like it may have a prolapse? Any one know what this is? Is there anything I need to or can do for it?
My pet hen had a prolapse two weeks ago. The prolapse went away a week ago so I let her back in. Now it's back and bigger. I don't have any ointment right now. I ordered some preparation H from Walmart which should be here this afternoon. I have her in a crate and soaked her in Epsom salt water...
Update: tried to gently push back in? It’s not moving so maybe it’s not prolapse?
Hi!
We just picked up our chicks from an NPIP breeder on Saturday. 8 chicks, but one has had pasty bum everyday but it’s also sticking out? Breeder said they are 4ish days old.
My gut says prolapse, but I’m...
