Stuck egg

[stjohn19]

Yikes, that looks awful. Has she prolapse also or just had a rough time getting it out?

i had to remove the egg and kinda push everything back in.

How did you get the egg out? The poor sweetie’s reproductive tract looks traumatized. If there is any way to stop the laying, I think that is important right now. Can you keep her in a dark room for a couple days? She needs supportive care like heat and fluids. Maybe a bit of protein treat like egg or tunato help recover from the blood loss. I am concerned her reprodutive tract may have sustained permanent damage, but hopefully it’s just inflamed and needs a rest. I also wonder if an epsom salt bath might help or if she’s too weak for that right now. Or too raw and open. I sincerely hope someone more experienced chimes in.

i kinda squeezed behind the egg and it came out, i cleaned it very well with saline solution and pushed everything back in. I did not feed her for a day and she seem to be doing well.

I can't see clearly in the photos but I am guessing that she is prolapsed. I would give her an Epsom salts bath and get her cleaned up and then apply some haemorrhoid cream or honey to the protruding parts and with a disposable gloved hand try to gently push them back inside and hold them in place with your finger inside. You will probably feel her spasming and trying to expel your finger but hold it until she stops spasming and then gently remove your finger and hopefully it will stay in place. If not apply more cream or honey and repeat. It's important not to let that protruding tissue dry out, so check it regularly and keep it covered with cream or honey pushed back in whenever necessary.
As someone else said, you really want to discourage her from laying for a few days, so keeping her in a dark box with clean bedding will help to keep her calm and quiet and discourage laying until she has a chance to heal. Let her out for half an hour or so to eat and drink 3 or 4 times a day and then back into the box to sleep. A vitamin supplement and some raw liver or eggs should help her to heal.

that pretty much what i did she doing well it don't really look the same but she played another egg and everything went well .

The photos look to me like she is still actively bleeding from her vent. Does anyone else see that? Would that change anything as far as the advice given so far?

she bleed a little after i removed the egg and pushed everything back in but after that she was ok

Please do check back in and give us an update after you tend to your sweet hen.

update on her she is doing well and have actually laid another egg since she is doing very well, just things don't look the same back there..

That's good to hear. It may take a while for everything to heal up after that.

Can you post a close up photo of it.
It's important that anything that should be internal goes back in. If it stays external then it will dry out and the tissue may die, so keep it lubricated with cream and keep trying to push it back in.
She could do with a period of rest from laying which can sometimes be achieved by reducing her food intake and keeping her in a dark box for a few days with just a couple of short periods of light each day to eat and drink and for you to check her vent and clean/treat as necessary.

Glad to hear she’s doing well. Good point by @rebrascora .

she back with all the others if i can find her again ill post an after picture, everything looks good but a little swollen when I put her back into the coop

I would remove her from the flock until her vent heals. The others will peck at it, and she can die of vent injury and infection. Honey, sugar, and Preparation H cream can help reduce swelling. Any kind of vegetable oil or coconut oil can help keep it moist so the tissue doesn't dry out and die. Any blackened tissue may be necrotic or dead, and should be removed. I would do a daily warm Epsom salts bath (or use betadine or Hibiclens) and cleanse the vent area. Push any prolapsed tissue back inside. She really needs 16 hours overnight daily in a crate to help her stop laying for a few weeks.
