I need help now!

[I have 3 chickens]

Can you get a good photo of the vent and prolapsed tissue next time you attempt to push it in?
Is the tissue dried out, hard or necrotic?

A hen that is not well like this one, often will not drink or eat very good. Caging her and offering her sips of water to get and keep her hydrated may help if she's having a hard time pooping. She may be constipated, but the oviduct and intestines may also be swollen and inflamed making it hard to go. Get her drinking, then offer her wet feed.

It's not uncommon for there to be a crop issue when a hen is not well. With a prolapse - there's inflammation/swelling, so this slows the bodily functions. Focus on hydration today and give her a little wet feed - no treats. Re-Check the crop first thing in the morning before she eats/drinks - see if it's empty. If it's not empty in the morning, then treat for slow or sour crop may help.

Can I still give her yogurt or does this count as a treat?
should I put apple cider vinegar in her water or is it better plain?
also should I keep giving her a tums once a day?
Thank you for all the information you have been very helpful!

My chicken has maggots in her vent area!

I haven't read the other posts, so i don't know if somebody else has already said this, but when my chicken had this (she had her tail bit off by a dog, and it got infected), i remember giving her baths in warm water every day to drown and get the maggots out, than i would pull out any others i saw with tweezers, and put a disinfectant or something like that on her vent, eventually she healed, and her tail came back!! Hope this helps!!

I used a medicine syringe and squirt

I have already been giving her warm baths with Epson salt every day. The flystrike is almost healed! Do you have any tips on how to get a prolapsed vent to stay in?

Yes, you can give her a little yogurt. Just don't give her anything that would be hard to process if her crop is not emptying.

I would only give the Tums for about 3 days - not sure how many days it's been now.

I would offer plain water.
