Is there any way you could place her in a darkened room and cut way back on her feed? Doing this will slow down her reproduction and might give the prolapse a chance to heal. I've done this with one duck and a few chickens and all went back out in the yard and are back to 100%.She finally let go of the egg during the night. And it only had a little blood on it. The eggs she laid last week had a lot more blood. It took 3 administrations of the calcium.
Yes, she definitely is still prolapsed. Its pretty bad and has been for a long time.
Should I keep treating her with calcium a couple times a week? It seems like this is helpful for her.
I used the liquid calcium from the feed store you recommended.Is there any way you could place her in a darkened room and cut way back on her feed?

Which calcium did you end up using?

Is there any way to get a vet's help?
Can you feel the egg near her vent?
Wondering if you might be able to gently syringe (even a turkey baster) warmed coconut oil into the vent to try to facilitate release of the egg.
Poor girl.
Is she drinking? If not, can you try to tube fluids to her? Can you fill your bathroom wih steam and leave her in there for several hours?
