Hi guys, we need some pretty urgent help regarding a chicken, the local vet wasn't much help as they basically said that the vent needs to go back inside or the chicken put down, but we're really struggling to get it back in. We think the large intestine has also come out of her as we can see...
Hello everyone!

My silkie hen has a clogged vent yesterday I saw she was just sitting there but did not suspect anything this afternoon her rear feathers were covered in a watery substance and when I picked her up she vomited on me. I thought she was egg bound but further...
Hello,
I'm writing this on behalf of my brother, who is very new to raising backyard chickens (he caught the fever from me!). Yesterday, his 6 year old daughter ran into the house with chicken blood all over her, panicking. My brother immediately ran out to find the injured chicken: a young BO...
My laying rescue pekin has a pretty swollen, irritated vent and I haven’t been able to find help anywhere else. She is still laying and acting relatively normal although she’s getting a little bit slower now that we are on day 3 and it isn’t looking any better. I don’t see any discharge & it...
I have an ~8 week old pullet that has what appears to be a vent prolapse. Disclaimer: I'm not sure if she is a she or a he... It got picked on a couple weeks ago and feathers haven't grown back in yet and obviously shes too young to be laying or crowing yet! I've had chickens for 2 years and I...
to preface, i'm not very experienced with chicken anatomy.
yesterday i noticed one of my hens had a broken soft shell egg stuck in her vent, she tried to push it out every couple minutes but it wouldn't dislodge. i wrapped her in a towel & gently pulled it out with a paper towel. i noticed a...
One of my hens laid a big lash egg today. We have had a sick hen (New Hampshire Red, about 4 yrs) with a swollen rear end since Jan. 1. At the time, she went to the vet, I had her inside for 10 days and we tried 2 antibiotics. Nothing worked, so we have put her back with the flock and she seems...
I should know exactly what's wrong & what to do, but maybe 2nd opinions to reassure me.
Noticed my hen in the nest acting like she was laying an egg....
I don't know if she laid today already or not bc there are several hens in her pen... Anyways, up on further inspection I see her backside has...
Hey Everyone!
We are having our first vent prolapse, and it looks worse than all the other pictures of vent prolapse we have ever seen.
We've tried everything the internets say, from Prep H + Polysporin... and we're not sure what to do.
Every other pic we have seen seems to be very mild...
Could this possibly be the beginning stages of vent prolapse?
I have a 17 week old buff Orpington hen who has been acting a little off the past couple days. (Beak open, little bit of white mucous on rear feathers.)
Today at request of other members of back yard chickens I managed to get a photo...

Hello.
This morning my family found our 4-year-old (estimate) Buff Orpington had a huge yellow mass below her vent. She had tons of maggots feeding off of the wound, which is obviously infected. She surprisingly wasn't very affected by this mass. She is breathing heavily and is pretty tired...
I’ve just noticed my female Indian runner duck has a vent prolapse, it’s not all hanging out there’s just a small amount of pink flesh poking out. What should I do for her? I’ve heard so many horror stories about this I just want her to be ok!
Hi, I am a happy hen housewife. I have been wanting chickens for a long time. My daughter in law is a school teacher and they hatched some chickens at her school. So when they were 2 weeks old she called me and asked, " do you still want chickens?' Of course I did!! She said i have to bring them...
Hi everyone, I need help! My Easter Eggers Rainbow has developed what I believe is ascites and prolapsed vent a few days ago. This developed a few days after the flock was let out for the morning and a fox attacked! It killed one, then 2 more died over 2 days. I could tell it tried to get...
Once again our flock is needing some expert advice. Our cream legbar, lowest and youngest in pecking order has basically stopped eating, + 1 day, will drink. And has isolated herself in the farthest roosting box, even after we put worst bullies in isolation coop earlier in the week..
Shes 6mos...
I just picked up 4 Royal Palm turkey poults today - I'm not sure of age...young because they still have their egg teeth, but some have larger wing feathers. One of the poults is wet on the underside. Eating and drinking fine. Acting like all the others. Upon inspection, it looks like it's vent...
