Desperatly Need Help- Lash Egg Stuck to Vent

[humblehillsfarm]

It’s gotten worse since this morning and she wouldn’t take meal worms she’s still clucking and her comb is red but it’s huge
I don’t know if this is recoverable? I couldn’t even begin to push this back in.

I am so sorry What a horrible thing you and your hen are going through. Have you tried contacting an avian vet? I know that's not always an option but it seems to be getting much worse.

I was thinking it didn’t look like a lash egg from the beginning I wonder if she’s been prolapse this whole time but flush had been dried making it look like a Lash egg?

It is getting worse. The only vet within 2 hours that will see birds is not that great. I called when I thought she had gleet and he didn’t know how to treat it.

It could be but it had clumps...lemme try and explain lol itd be a stringy material and the size of thin string then a lump of hard then string then the large lump of hard. I have spent so many hours scouring the internet and Facebook and can find nothing like this. Nothing even close.

I'm so sorry to hear thisI hope she'll be able to pass it on her own and surprise us all.
I wish you and your girl the best of luck!

@Wyorp Rock Is it possible that actually IS a string w/ dried matter hardened to it ? Chickens will eat anything.

thank you!!
If it were your bird how long would you give her? It’s been a week since I found the bit hanging out and last night since the actual prolapse

If it is string it’s attached to her insides, like fused on them. I can’t get it off without hurting her a lot.

Wyorprock helped me heal a prolapse . Not with that thing attached though. It took a couple weeks actually and I had the good drugs but I did it . Found her the dead the next spring w/ another prolapse.

I don't know Granny, a string then lump, then string then lump almost sounds like material with a "tail" like an egg or lash with a tail. Hard to know and it's a puzzle. I've never dealt with one having material stuck in the oviduct like this before.

@BHFarm you ask how long to give her. That's up to you, no one can say.
For me, 5 days is a good amount of time for an issue to resolve or I would have to see a great improvement, but each of us have our own opinion of when a bird needs to be put down. I have culled for unfix-able prolapse, so do understand - it can be a hard call to make.
