We have a 5 month old BlackStar (Ginger) that just started laying. Her first egg came out sideways and caused her intestine to hang out. We got the egg out and gave her a warm epson salt bath. Following day she laid her second egg and this time and again egg and intestine were handing out (pic below) but this time egg was stuck between exit hole and a cut that developed right next to exit hole. I gently directed the egg to the exit hole and it popped right out.
Again we gave her a warm epson salt bath and cleaned the area as best as we could. The next two days she didn’t lay and we continued the bath and cleaning and applied a bit of peroxide over the area. She’s not pooping normal, but she still eats well. Area now looks like an infected crust or scar has formed. I’m worried and would like to know what to do next. She’s not sleeping with the flock (7) but the free range all day together.
This is what area now looks like.
Is this something I can take care myself or do I need to find a vet? Will she make it??? Thank you in andvance for your help and time.
