So I had my first vent prolapse experience about 6-8 weeks ago. Almost year old lavender orpington, Maude, who had been laying fine developed a prolapsed vent. I did all the treatment stuff and shes gotten better (YAY I fixed a sick hen for once!!) but she still hasn't laid an egg since. Its been about 3-4 weeks since the prolapse has healed. She eats and drinks and is her normal self otherwise. Comb isn't AS red and waxy as my laying hens. I check her vent and she for sure isn't laying, not moist and her pelvic bones don't fit my two fingers.
My question is: will she ever lay again? Im not sure why she developed prolapse...apparently wasn't egg bound as far as I can tell. Sooooo I'm hoping someone has experienced this before and has some info...???
