Prolapse Vent

[Liz Birdlover]

Had this prolapse problem just this past week. This is a post of what I did. As of today, she is still doing well.
Good luck!

Thank You!

I did get it to go back in after I gently removed some poop that got really stuck to the vent. I soaked her for 45min in Epsom salt and gently peeled the poop off. After I did that it slid right back in.
It did come out again today but only slightly no where near as bad as previously so I'm soaking her again and using the honey this time.

These are the pictures from before I got the poop off.

She is thankfully a very chill chicken

Found her yesterday right after laying a perfect egg. I tried to push it back in last night but it wouldn't stay. This morning photos, still worried about pushing it in.
also worried I am not getting it clean enough for fear of making it worse. Spraying with witch hazel/water/one drop lavender oil. HELP
