PLEASE HELP!! Prolapsed vent!

[Yard Farmer]

She looks totally normal today, y'all.

You need to try to clean the vent so you can then assess the situation. Run a basin of warm water. Add a little dish soap. Soak. To further soften the gunk, use straight dish detergent and rub it into the crust. Let set. Then massage it in and as it dissolves, rinse it away.

Prolapse tissue is healthy pink to dark pink. If you decide she is prolapsed, the cloaca inside out, follow this article I wrote to help treat it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ng-from-vent-prolapse-oh-my-what-to-do.76124/

Hello. Super new Just joined. Panicking over our prolapsed hen. 3-4 days now. Have had her separated. Family and business has kept us too busy to find help. Is she doomed? Have had her separated. We all work all day or daughter at school. No access to calcium until later today. Have been soaking late at night for comfort. She will take water from a small cup.

Can we lube with Vaseline for comfort ? Have a pet spray for antibiotic and hydrocortisone cream before work. Please help.

The important things are, in this order:
-Give calcium at no less than 600mg once a day until prolapse resolves.
-Keep prolapse moist with Manuka honey or Vaseline.
-Keep hen hydrated.
