Prolapse or egg bound?

[chickndays]

Checking on chickens this morning and noticed one Dominique was missing feathers from behind. On closer inspection I noticed this.
I've quarantined her in the garage away from other chickens and flies and given her water, food and oyster shells as well as a quick soak in cool water.
I'm hesitant to touch her much more as I'm nine mos pregnant.
I have observed her eating and drinking though maybe a bit lethargic (hard to say whether it's from heat/humidity though).

You need to touch a chicken if you wish to help them. Use surgical gloves, or absent those, rubber dish washing gloves. Use a Covid mask if you're concerned with inhaling bacteria.

Give her one cup of water with one teaspoon sugar and just a pinch of salt and baking soda stirred in. This will combat heat sickness as well as elevate her glucose to stabilize her. By the way, if you ever suspect a chicken is suffering from overheating, do not immerse them in cold water as it can kill them. Place cool compresses under their wing pits instead.

Next, give her a calcium tablet. Oyster shell takes much too long to absorb. The calcium tablet will encourage contractions to push out a possible stuck egg.

Prolapse and egg binding go together. Once the egg passes, the prolapse will retract.

Thanks. For clarification, I only quickly soaked her exposed backside; did not immerse entire chicken.

If I don't have a calcium tablet will part of a tums do in a pinch?

Give the entire Tums. Break it into a couple pieces if you need to. Pry open the beak and push the pieces in. She'll have no problem swallowing.

I did and she immediately pooped out yellow liquid.

Do you have someone that can help you with her?
I agree, wear gloves and a mask.

To me, it looks like she has FlyStrike, do you see maggots in the wounds around or below the vent?

She will need repeated soakings to get the maggots off, some picking of maggots out of the wounds may be necessary. Flush wounds out really well, then apply triple antibiotic ointment to the tissue. Repeat soakings a couple of times a day until there are no more maggots.
You can trim feathers away from the wounds to make them easier to see and clean.

Possible she's having troubles laying an egg too, giving the Calcium is a very good idea and should be done.

So I was able to get a better look today and the two spots are below her vent so it isn't either of the two things I originally thought it was. I don't see maggots but planning to try soaking with Epsom salts. Hen is keeping her tail down when she stands.
(This is about the biggest emergency I've had so far with 2 1/2 years with chickens so I'm still learning )

It's good that you don't see any maggots.

Treat as wounds unless you can get better photos. Try to keep her where flies can't get on the areas.
