HELP, MY HENS INSIDES ARE COMING OUT!

[NewChickenmama06]

I went into my coop this morning to find one of my 3 year old buff Orpington hens with a bloody vent. I brought her in and cleaned her the best I could. I then put her in a tub with warm water and Epson salt. I took her out, dried her and what I saw was awful. Something is coming out of her vent. I sprayed the area with Vetericyn Plus and put her in a safe place in my house. I gave her nutra drench in a water dish. She seems to be acting normally so far. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Posting pictures.

She has a vent prolapse, but it looks like the others have pecked and injured it. Keep it moist with hydrocortisone cream, Neosporin, or vaseline, and try to push it back inside. A spray of wound spray or saline would be fine, but keep it from dripping with ointment. There is a lot of it out, and she may not recover, but keep trying. Keep her separated from the others until her prolapse stays inside. Has she been laying eggs, and has she pooped? Feel for an egg which can happen with a prolapse.

I agree. You need to keep it moist as you don’t want it to dry out
I used lube I got from my vet to help keep it wet and be able to push it in
Any of the other things mentioned above will also help

A human calcium tablet with vitamin D might be good to give her to increase muscle contraction in the vent, especially if she has been trying to pass an egg.

Ok I will try to push it back in. One thing I failed to mention is that she had egg yolk,egg white and some shell mixed with the blood.
I hope she can recover.

I gave her a calcium with vitamin D tablet. She is eating and drinking. I hope she is ok.

As the others have said, you need to keep it moist at all times. Did she manage to push out all the egg remnants?

Everyone is correct keep it nice and moist and don't let her be around any other animals hopefully she will be okay.

It looks like she did, but not 100% sure.
