I witnessed one of my hens pooping, and she had a little prolapse that the poop had to get by.
I have dealt with prolapsed vent before, but that was much bigger. This one’s was little, like the size of a marble.
I went and prepared a bath with epsom salt, and then went back to get the hen. She didn’t have a prolapse anymore, so it must have went back in. I have since checked her a few times a day, and she never has prolapse, but she does have a white trail on her butt feathers from poop. I suspect she might have that prolapse every time she poops.
She does sometimes lay oversized eggs (double yolkers).
What do I do about it?
