HELP what happened to her Bum (WARNING GRAPHIC PIC)

A quiet rest in an isolated place might be just what she needs, too.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. My girl prolapsed and pecked at it, causing it to bleed. I had to push in over three times, and she has been fine since (knock on wood). I used Prep H, and gave her yogurt.

I have a stupid question but i cant find a picture of it, i gave her a but bath and i have some pics, but ................ I feel so stupid asking this, but do chickens have two holes back there? one for poo and peeing and the other for eggs?

 

[sharol]

No just one. The vent handles both functions, but the body wastes come from a different direction than the eggs to get there. Someone described it as a Y with the eggs coming from one side and the body wastes from the other.

I will get you links to prolapsed vent...

 

[Carrie Lynn]

Anyone on this thread know which side of the "Y" the egg comes from?

Mine occ. will prolapse but were never bloody like that. I think something took advantage of the prolapse. Keep her isolated. clean her up and put preparation H or a similar material on and watch it carefully. Good luck with your girl. No only one big opening. There is however another opening in the part that will stick out. Bless her heart she is hurting.

HA HA HA that is what i thought, so it is not her vent that is swollen the spot is below her vent. I gave her a warm but bath and put some honey on it so what should i do now?

Ok so here are the pics after her but bath , before the honey, the black color stuff is just blood, when i feel it the outer part of it feels hard.
