Just read up on prolapse - noticed my 21 wk old BO w/ it today - this would be her first egg.

I can see the egg off to the right-hand side - looks like the wall of whatever that organ is (cloaca?) is stretched thin over it. The shell feels crackly but the egg looks intact.

I'm going to try the honey & giving her some calcium, but wondered what if anything to do about what's inside - I'm I supposed to try to deliver the egg, or just get it to go back in & then hopefully the egg will come out on its own?

Thanks!

I was actually able to push out two very soft eggs & replace the prolapse but then it prolapsed again right away. I have her in a dark room. Will be gone til eve. so will hope for the best.
