It’s tricky to find what to do because of her age. When she was brand new I could just say “oh, it’s because she’s got a pasty bum” and clean her and take the steps suggested to clean it and put it back in. And she’s not old enough to have it be related to egg laying. I really do think it’s got something to do with her tail growing downwards and creating a constantly dirty bum - and I have no clue how to fix thatI went through that with my chicken was much older. I had to pop it in twice a day for about a week straight. I also had to keep her in a dark spot alone so other chickens wouldn’t peck at it and to keep her from laying. My family stayed in after about a week and worked up enough nerve to push a little further in. Might be harder with her being smaller though. I’m going to have to do some thinking on why it would keep coming out. I’ve read several reasons for it. Sometimes excess Laying of extremely large eggs. Or first time laying in egg. I’ve also read it could be a calcium imbalance. I’m going to have to do some looking for that on why it keeps coming out. Are the other chickens messing with it
