Help! Serama hen with swollen vent on side

[HuffstutlerHens]

My serama hen looks like has a swollen egg shaped area on the side of her vent. After examining it’s very soft not hard like an egg and vent is on the side of it. I don’t know what it is or what to do.

It is probably a prolapse of one side of her vent.

I recently had a few week old chick with a vent prolapse I treated for a week and it did get better. I washed the area twice per day with soap and water and blew dried her on low with a blow drier, then put the equivalent ointment that Preparation H is on it.

Since yours is an adult, you probably could forgo the blow drying.

I also gave her vitamin water, either Poultry Cell or Nutra-Drench, whichever bottle was handy at the moment.
