It is not a lost cause. If you can keep her from laying eggs for a while the prolapse should reduce.Omelette's prolapse is reduced after 4 days of treatment, but it's still there (I think she actually didn't have vent gleet, but I'm continuing to treat for that because I figure it can't hurt... I just leapt at that diagnosis 'cause I didn't want it to be a prolapse...) Is it a lost cause, or should I keep going at least the full week?
In other news Frieda may be going broody again what with the 3-week-olds being in the getting-to-know-you pen in the coop with their heating pad caveIf she does end up broody, maybe I can graft those chicks I'll be getting in just over 3 weeks onto her (since she'd just end up abandoning eggs if I picked those up, instead, since she's shown that she doesn't sit for more than 5 weeks if nothing hatches because I gave her eggs too late). Worth a shot anyway--if it doesn't work, the big chicks should be fully feathered by the time I'd need their heating pad for new chicks.
Are you trying some preparation H?
