Help.

Can anyone tell me what is hanging for my hens behind?
It’s a long sauage type mususic looking casing. No prolapse but concerning. She is trying to pull on it and doesn’t seem to hurt. A piece fell off and length is about two inches still hanging. It’s creamed colored, not yellow but not white. Any help would be nice! My husband is freaking out

I'm pretty sure that's what they call a latch egg.

It is a soft shell egg hanging from her vent. Gently and slowly pull it out. Your hen should be fine afterwards.
This might just be a one time event, I've had it happen. If it happens again, let us know.

Thank you so much! It worked! Is there any more effective way to give her calcium?

Is she ok to go outside after this or should she stay in the house for today? We gave her calcium this morning.

How old is this bird and what exactly do you feed your flock?

Do you feed mealworms or table scraps or any other kind of treat?

Yes they get a bit of scratch and some mealworms as treats. Usually daily. No table scraps
