Prolapsed Vent!!

A cute picture after those gross rear pics! Lol!

She is really sweet and a pretty hen. In one picture you can see the whole cloaca with both the oviduct and large intestinal openings. The scabby bit will probably come off eventually with a little scrubbing, or it may just fall off eventually. Are you able to push the prolapse tissue back inside and hold it there for a few minutes? I hope that she eventually will keep it inside.

I have tried pushing it back it twice...but since it didn’t stay I figured it needed to shrink instead of forcing it back in? The one picture Of everything out is how it normally looks. It does seem to be showing improvement. Should I put it Back in again?

 

[Eggcessive]

Yes, I would push it back in when you see it out, and hold it in for a few minutes, then try again later.

This was after a long soak and some removal of the white stuff?

Hi there amberan02! I am dealing with a very similar situation with a 11 day old chick. Hers happened about 5 days ago and I am working with her non stop. It is getting better but I think I still have a bunch of the white gunk stuck to her that I am afraid might be her tissue and am afraid to soak off. How long can you soak them? What solution are you using? Sound like a dumb question, but these are my first chicks and I want to do all I can. How is your little one doing?

Mine did not get fixed.
Do you have pictures of yours? I’m not sure how to help since she’s so small.

How is the prolapse looking now? Is your chicken still alive?

 

[Amberan02]

It looks the same. I have a friend going to cull her for me, I can’t do it! I turned her out with the other chickens and my husband was going to deliver her for me earlier this week, but she seems happy?? No one is bothering her. But I assume she’s laying eggs. Do you think I should cull her? Or let her stay? She just seems so well!!
