I have a two year old English orpington hen that I found in the enclosed chicken run. I thought she was dead, upon further inspection she is alive and appears to have a prolapse. She was fine yesterday- running around the yard. The I’ve cleaned her up and currently have her in a tub soaking with some sugar water to lessen the swelling.
This is livestock and I’m not taking her to the vet; however, if there is anything I can do at home before culling is the final option I’ll try it.
I will add the chickens are in with turkeys- however I’ve never seen our Tom attempt to breed the chickens. They get along well, but not THAT well.
