Can you send photos to your vet and ask if she can be seen sooner?I can’t seem to feel an egg in her, I have put some prep H in her and soaked her in some warm water. I want to take her to the vet tomorrow.
Um, yeah ya do. Yeah ya doHey Cy... I don’t know what heritable means...
Perfect excuse to use your new line
You’re right, I did!Um, yeah ya do. Yeah ya do
Heritable means it's passed on genetically.
Oh, poor thing! It looks like she has a prolapsed vent.She has been acting lethargic and waddling around, I thought she might be egg bound. I just don’t know what’s wrong.
Here’s some pictures of what comes out when I was checking her.
Warning Gross

Why does it seem like there are three different openings, I treated a hen with a prolapsed vent before and it didn’t look like this, is this normal??
The poop was coming out of the middle one, circled in yellow.
It all goes back in after a second. She is grown and has been laying eggs for a while.
What should I do?!
Prolapsing often has a strong genetic component. It's heritable.I’ve stuck hemorrhoid cream in her. All of this goes back in on its own. It only came out because I was feeling for an egg and she pushed. I don’t know why stuff like this keeps happening, her sister had a prolapsed vent a few weeks ago, it healed up fine. The were both hatched in the incubator so maybe they have some problems. I give them plenty of calcium and I try to keep them healthy. I spend so much time cleaning their pen and such. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I just keep having problem after problem with my chickens. They have worms right now, I’ve taken them to the vet and have been treating them, but it doesn’t seem to be doing any good. They still have diarrhea. I had them checked a few days ago and they also have a different type of worms, som I’m treating them for those too. They had both of those a few months ago and I had them worm free for about a month but now they have them again. I know it’s probably in the soil and that’s why they keep getting them. I used to let them dig outside while I kept an eye on them and the must have carried the worms in from somewhere outside and into their pen. I’ve put lime and diatomaceous earth mixed into the dirt in the pen, but it probably won’t get rid of the worms. I can’t move their pen because it’s too big. So they are just going to end up getting worms over and over. I don’t know what to do, I can’t afford to keep taking them to the vet. I don’t think I can afford to have the vet treat her for whatever is wrong with her now. I just don’t know what to do.
Hey Cy... I don’t know what heritable means...Prolapsing often has a strong genetic component. It's heritable.
What two kinds of worms are you treating for and what are you using to treat?I’ve stuck hemorrhoid cream in her. All of this goes back in on its own.
