Of course this happens on a Sunday. My young hen was walking around with an intact egg hanging out of her. I was able to carefully crack the egg and pull it out of her (mostly intact). I tried to gently clean her up and trimmed off feathers that were full of poop. I also put some hydrocortisone cream on the exposed area. I've isolated her with food and water, but I don't think she has any interest in food. I haven't tried to push everything back in her because I'm not sure what it is hanging out of her and I want to be absolutely sure I don't push any poop in her. I'd appreciate any help until I can get her to the vet tomorrow. Hen Prolapse 1.jpg

I'm so sorry your girl's going through this - one of mine did.
My thread with pics may help - Magnolia's Prolapse
First thing you can do is give her bottom a warm epsom salt soak, (wear gloves) get everything clean, gently try to ease the prolapsed duct back into her with a finger. Hairdryer after each bath/soak helps a lot. Hopefully that thread and the others linked in it can help you?
Wishing you both luck!
