I have the same question as above. I think I have read where after being stitched around the vent if they heal, the chance of prolapse decreases.
I actually think a stretch of a few hours at once may be preferable. I have a poor Cochin hen who has an internal laying problem and I try to limit her light. She stays in a dimly lit area most of the day, and still has an interest in food and has the chance to interact with me periodically through the day. Then I take her out for a period in the evening when the light is not so bright outside. She gets a chance to spend time with the other chickens, sand bath and forage.
