Possible prolapse in my chicken

[Valerie maycock]

Hello, I went out tonight to lock up our chickens and seen our one chicken looks to have a prolapse. I removed her from the other chickens and poured alot of warm water over the area. There are a TON of maggots and maggot eggs ( that's what they look like) all over the area. Please help!!! What should I do?

Poor dear!
Maggots is FlyStrike.

Wash the tissue well and get off all the maggots, they will damage tissue.
Pick them off with tweezers if you need to.

Once the maggots are gone, if the tissue is exposed due to prolapse, then apply anti-inflammatory cream, honey, prep H - any ointment that you have on hand to keep the tissue moist and from drying out.

Photos may be helpful.

Is she lethargic? Do keep her hydrated and DO give her calcium (1 TUMS or 1 Caltrate). Calcium can help with retention.
The goal will be to get the tissue back in, but for right this minute, the maggots all need to be gone before you push it back in.

I posted a picture. There are soooooo many maggots. I just soaked her in warm soapy water and some came off in the water but when I would try to remove them it was as if I was pulling like a membrane coating from the prolapse. If u enlarge the photo u can see how many r around the prolapse

Oh dear!

Is that her vent or below it?
Those will have to come out from around that wound in order for her to heal. It's possible, they have breached the abdominal wall, hard to know, if you pulling at a membrane trying to remove the maggots.
