Prolapsed cocclia?

[lleeme]

I have one hen with a poopy butt, so I caught her this morning to clean it up and found her cochlea <sp> was outside. Is this from starining to get past poopiness or another issue.

I cleaned it and tried to gently push back in but I think there is an egg on its way. I have placed her in a cage on the porch to keep an eye on her, but not sure if the roo who sleeps in it at night will mind.

She is laying, got her in a cackle surprise box hatched 6/1/22. Not sure the breed, if someone could tell me it would be nice to know. As far as I know she is eating and drinking just fine. TIA

Cloaca. That's what the little vestibule just inside the vent is called. When it is pushed out from straining to pass an egg or more rarely, poop, it's call vent prolapse.

Try giving her a calcium tablet, the sort women take for strong bones. It will cause contractions and help her push out the egg.

Stick it in her mouth and make her swallow?

Shove it into her beak and she will swallow.

Be sure to keep her prolapse from drying out by applying one of the following to her vent:
hydrocortisone cream, honey, sugar paste with a couple of drops of water, vaseline, or other nontoxic oil. Keep trying to gently push it back in, but it might not stay in for a few days.

Thanks everyone. The calcium didn't work last night but I put antibiotic ointment on it. By this morning it was back inside, still no egg and her feathers were really messy. Had her soak her but in Epsom salt water, and gave her another calcium pill. She laid the egg before we left for church. Will keep her on the porch a few more days.

Oh that is great. Did the prolapse come out again? I hope that she gets back with her flock soon.

I didn't want to handle her too much. I don't think so but will check when I get home in the morning. Thanks again for the help.
