Help with prolapse

[peafowl_Lover]

Hi, in my first thread about this topic I think I only got one reply so hoping I'll get the help I need in this one. So on Friday my buff orpington pullet was laying her first egg. I found her like this

so I bathed her on warm water and the egg came out followed by a soft shelled egg. After that happened she looked like this

I rubbed honey, sugar and anti septic cream on it. And rinse it with cool water twice daily to stimulate muscle. I gently push the prolapse in but she keeps pushing it out again. This is what it looks like today

she doesn't seem to be in pain and is in isolation until she gets better. I also give her a calcium tablet to stop her laying soft shell eggs. I'm feeding her rolled barley to try prevent egg laying.it seems the black bit in the prolapse is dying off? How do I get the prolapse to stay in?
Thank you

I had a hen who prolapsed last winter. She had something similar looking to your hen. We put lots of sugar, honey and septic cream on her too. It took us about a week before she let the prolapse stay in, so don't be alarmed if it takes a little while.
The black thing on her prolapse we also experienced with our hen. It most likely is scar tissue and may just fall off on its own. Usually when hens have something like that on their prolapse it makes it uncomfortable and they don't want to push the prolapse back in. As soon as the scar tissue fell off on our hen she let her prolapse stay in.

The most important thing to do is keep her prolapse moistened and just keep gently pushing it in and holding it there.

Thanks so much for your reply. This batch of chicks have had so many problems but I'm hoping we'll be in the all clear now!

I would soak her once a day in warm Epsom salts water, or in a little Hibiclens or Dawn soapy water. Just get her bottom wet, and dry her well. Apply vaseline or a similar mild oil or ointment 2-3 times a day to keep the prolapse tissue from drying out. Hopefully she will heal soon. I would give her a small anpmount of chicken feed with a lot of water instead of barley. She may need grit with barley, and the mushy chicken feed will decrease the amount of calories.
