So Sorry.

Sorry for your dilemma, but it's good you're brave enough to put her out of her misery. If she's that flighty it would be difficult to get her to stay calm long enough to heal, and would probably push it right back out.

I assume the title/pun is unintended?

I can't be much help with the prolapsed vent but can provide an easy solution to catching her. Buy a big sturdy fishing net with a long handle, it works very well and not much chasing or stress.

Thank you Sunny, that is what I've been trying to say, but just couldn't put it into words!

Blondie would do EXACTLY that and freak out so much that she'd just push it back out if someone so much as looked at her, much less try to touch her. That would be misery to be that much pain for days, and I'm not about to put her through that. I've been playing the "what if" game, and need to stop doing that right now.
Thank you Sunny.

Imp, thank you.

Most definately unintended, I was about to pass out from the heat and chasing that hen around.

We're looking at getting one of those for the flighty ones, but need one about 20 feet long for this particular chicken. Seriously.

Unless she's penned in, you get about 15' away, and she starts getting nervous, then the bolting and the squaking starts.

She is obviously in good hands; it seems you went the last mile for her.

Take care,

John

Sounds like that scene from Rocky where Stallone tries to catch that flighty Leghorn rooster LOL.
