I have a prolapsed hen with some dead or damaged skin. I have pushed it back it and held it for a minute or 2 then put her back in a dark carrier/crate. I used a herbal salve based in olive oil that is great for hemorrhoids and healing. She prolapses again within minutes... Any ideas how to get it to stay in so she can heal? I have her inside the house since its cold here. There was no pecking from the other hens prior. I happened to notice it yesterday but it seems like it happened about a week ago. Is it too late to fix? I can post pics... I can't seem to get all the poop off either almost like it scabbed on. I soaked her (which she hated and stressed about) wrapped her in a towel picked all the poop off and trimmed the feathers... Don't know what else to do.
My dh wants me to get rid of all the chickens cause it seems like we have problem after problem...
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
