Prolapse hen

[Chickens are awsome]

So a little background on my hen Lily is a 3-year-old BLR Wyandotte she prolapsed in 2020 and I got her clean up and she has been good sense.
Well until today she was prolapsed again but she also had an eggshell stuck within the prolapse I'm hoping she doesn't get an infection. I was wondering besides just keeping an eye on her is there anything else I can do for her. I am willing to take her to the vet if need be.

Was it a collapsed soft shelled egg or a hard shell?

Photos of the prolapsed tissue? How bad?

it was a hard shell.
I will see if I can get photos later. It's not too bad just a little bit of tissue.

Did the egg come out? Did it break inside? Be sure to keep the prolapsed tissue moist with honey or ointment so that it doesn’t dry out.

The shell came out. I am not positive if it broke inside or not.

If it was broken, I would assume it broke inside. A human calcium tablet might help, and if you worry about infection, you can amoxicillin online. It is called Aqua Mox, and dosage is 125-250 mg given orally twice a day for 7-10 days. Here is a link for it:

Thank you.

The prolapsed tissue went back in after I cleaned her up a bit and gently guided it back in and stayed. Would the prolapse be caused by the stress of the egg?

Thank you.

Glad to hear the tissue went back in.
I would give her the Calcium for a few days to help with retention.

Pushing hard to expel the egg could have caused the prolapse, so you will want to monitor her. It's possible she may prolapse again when she lays her next egg.
