My 5 month old silkie pullet laid her first egg. Unfortunately its full size and looks (according to my research) like a prolapsed vent as well as egg bound. The egg is stuck. I tried soaking her in a bath for about 30 min. I tried pushing it out but couldn't find an opening. I tried pushing it gently back in but stopped when I felt resistance. I let her chill in a cover box for a couple of hours while we dealt with getting the generator running. PGE shut off the power to my area.
A couple of veterans (not nearby) said to rub veg oil on the exposed area. When I did that I noticed she had pooped several times in the box. Im worried about her getting cold too because she is still damp from the bath. I was worried about using the blow dryer on the prolapsed area, worried it might make things worse.
Any ideas?
