Prolapse and dead tissue

Thank you everyone! Will do it all.
Let you know what happens

Update!!! Our chicken with the prolapse gave her first egg after healing! She is doing great!
Her eggs are usually a little pinkish, her first egg after prolapse is a little pale, but its hers.

Thank you for the update and glad to hear that she is doing well.

this gives me hope. 24 hours since I found it right after she laid a perfect egg. these photos are from this morning. I have read to take food away...did you do this? She has water with nutradrench. I did put a small amount of oyster shell with her layer feed. She is in a dark place.

Keep feeding her and keep watering her! Make sure she's drinking the nutridrench water, otherwise just plain old water will do. Especially if she's hungry, which she likely is.

This might start to look worse before it gets better. There is no way to keep her from pooping on the exposed area- so do keep the exposed tissue coated and MOIST with either triple antibiotic cream or neosporin or coconut oil - it needs to stay lubricated or it will dry up.

She managed to lay an egg yesterday, HOW and much to my surprise. the tissue looked as if it was starting to correct itself. the scab is starting at the base of the "mushroom cloud" as I have named it.

I know, poor thing! She may lay a few more in the mean time, her ovaries are full of maturing egg yolks. I'm glad she got it out OK. The scab will probably grow, but hopefully she heals up quick!

edited to add: Remember when chickens lay they naturally prolapse in the process of laying, which (usually just briefly) exposes the tissue, I guess think of it like a sock that gets turned inside out and then turns itself the right way back in. When something goes wrong and it doesn't go right back in- whether it was a big egg that maybe caused a little tear - or she left the box with a small prolapse and someone then pecked at the prolapse (or both!)- the location of the damage can be farther inside and hard to see because it's in the 'crumple zone' of the tissue trying to re-invert itself. So- the scabbing may become more extensive as days go by as she works to repair the damage. With any luck though it's a small one!
