Hi
I've just been down to check on my ducks and discovered what I'm pretty sure is my drakes prolapsed penis. It is/has been bleeding as there is blood around the area and around an inch or so of his penis is stuck out. I'm assuming due to too much action during the mating season and he may have...
I am currently treating my hen Minnie for a prolapsed vent. I pretty much a newbie, I have learned a lot more then I ever thought imaginable about chickens in the past year but I desperately need help. Minnie has a prolapsed vent and had had one before, to be honest I do not if she ever fully...
Let me start off by saying that this is a Nigerian Dwarf doe who had three 4 pound babies last year, two of which were born dead. This year she's been having almost constant moderate prolapses (about 2-3 inches out), which are more apparent when she lays down (about 3-4 inches out). Her mom had...
Hi!
So I came out to visit my girls this afternoon... and noticed my one hen was having a real hard time in the nesting box. She had a lot of caked / poop, so we took her in... gave her the spa treatment and got her mostly cleaned up. BUT her vent doesn’t appear normal to me. Is this a...
Hi, I recently ordered 32 bantam day old chicks from a hatchery online of various breeds, and when I recived then I noticed a few had pasty butt so I cleaned it off, I then noticed one of the chicks had a prolapsed vent. (I am unsure as to the sex of this bird and don’t know if this would lead...

I have a female duck who is 2 years old, with a prolapsed vent. She is not laying and There is no sign of her being egg bound etc. She has been this way for 4-5 days now. She is...
I have an adult chicken who is struggling to poop. Yesterday she had a prolapse and it was put into place by my vet (I'm a new chicken owner and did not feel qualified to do it). They told me to watch and make sure she is pooping okay. She seemed to have some thinner poop that was passing...
My 7 yr olds prized chocolate cuckoo Polish chick is 3 weeks old. For a few days her vent has been red and swollen. I was told it was a slight prolapse on a forum. Nothing has helped this chick not have a sore bottom. Can anyone help? I trimmed her tail feathers that were pushing into the area...
I have 7 Indian runner ducks and one drake. It's our third year now and the ducks are all laying away. However, one duck gives us worries. She just had a prolapse the second time in two weeks. the first time she managed to lay a soft-shell egg after a couple of hours and the prolapse retreated...
I need help! My 13 month old chicken, who I suspect does not normally lay eggs, has been sick. I noticed she was prolapsed when trying to poop a few days ago. I separated her, brought her inside and am keeping her in a dark cage. She isn't able to get much poop out (is straining, not being...
Hi, I love reading through posts on here and searching this site when I need some guidance. Tonight though I am hoping to get some “personalized” advice. On Sunday evening one of my Black Sex-Links, of course the only one that is really skittish, had a funny looking tush. I tried to catch a...
Hi all,
Today my almost two-year-old Golden Comet (almost) suddenly developed a very large prolapse -- about the size of an apple, and bright red. My impression is that the tissues are engorged with blood. The prolapsed tissues look like two ducts side by side -- I presume the anus on the right...
Help! My sweet Daisy has a prolapsed vent. We have secluded her in a dark room with a heater. We just noticed it yesterday and am pretty sure it was new as we spend time with our girls daily. It was not very big, about the size of a marble. We soaked her in warm water with iodine and then...
Hi, I am at a loss with what is causing my chickens to die. They are RI reds from TSC which were hatched in August. They have grown well and all appear to be healthy with good weight/size. They started laying in late November/ early December. I live in Western NY and it has been an unusually...
One of my chickens is prolapsing iv've put a bandage over her but with a slit but they came out again a few hours later. Before i started putting the prolapse back in she was really pale with blue tinged wattles and whitish face. She seems a bit better now but how can I help her get better.:fl
Hi, I'm new to this forum as a poster. In the last few days I have become more familiar with a chicken's butt than I ever thought or imagined.
A couple of days ago we noticed first that our leghorn was laying eggs smeared with blood, then with more examination she's clearly had a prolapse...
1) What type of bird , age and weight.
Leghorn who is 2 years she's the same weight as the other... not sure. Her name is Martina see our profile pic :))
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She's moving around fine. I noticed yesterday that her bum was covered in poo. This morning my housemates...
Hello, I have a heartbreaking question that I would love to get advice on.
My bantam hen is about 5 years old, one of my brooder mamas whose idea of a perfect life is to sit in her nest box all day. She is still laying and hasn't had any trouble before.
Today I notice her vent was extremely...
We were gone for the day but in the morning had no indication that our oldest chicken was in any distress. When we came back, we found her dead beside her first egg. She had what looked like an extreme prolapse including her intestines out. There was not a lot of blood showing at all though...
Hello, this is my first post, although I've been reading this website ever since I began my flock 5 years ago. Everyone here seems to know a lot about chickens, and I'm hoping you might be willing to take a moment to give me some advice.
A little over 5 years ago, we started our backyard flock...
