Noticed a prolapsed vent 2 days ago. I have been replacing it twice a day using preparation h and hydrocortisone, and keeping her in a dark barn seperate from the flock. Today when I replaced it I felt an egg internally. I tried epsom salt bath, lubing around the egg, and giving her a little calcium. She is acting very normal, eating and drinking and getting around fine.
1 year old good laying Americana.
I’m a bit stuck as I’m a new mom who is working so I have minimal time to spend trying to help her. That being said, I’ll take any tips or suggestions around how long you let the hen go before putting her down.

Also she is passing stool just fine. We really don’t want to put her down since she is acting so normal.
