Prolapse- how to treat or humanely cull

[CliftonQuail]

I'm glad that she's doing better. Keeping her in a quiet, dark area for a few days may keep her from laying for a while. If you have another bird that can keep her company, that would be a good idea, too. They like at least 14 hours of light typically to lay.

So, uh, interesting story... we didn't get home until about 8am today, and somehow, by some miracle, she's sucked everything back up and has kept it in all day. (Ignore my misplaced finger in the picture...) She's also in great spirits and keeps pecking at my feet

We're still prepared to cull her should she have a relapse, but right now are enjoying the little miracle of her being alright. Do y'all know of any way to prevent her from laying for the time being? Thank you all again for your advice and help!View attachment 3998519

That's great news!

So glad she got some relief! How is she doing?

She's doing great so far! She hasn't laid again and her prolapse hasn't come back either, so I'm quite happy and hopeful!

Update:

She laid a beautiful teal egg yesterday and is doing great. I've returned her back with the rest of my flock and will continue to keep an eye on her from there

I'm so glad your girl recovered ! We lost one to prolapse a few years back. It's nice to know sometimes you can win!
