**UPDATE** please help egg stuck!

I know it might be possible but I just don't think its worth it. The time and money spent and I could've bought another hen. I feel really bad about it... I don't have any emotional attachment to this hen either.

Im not saying you have to take her to the vet, lotsa people just lube them up, put the tissue back in, and try to help the bird pass the egg, but culling is also a viable option. Is this her first egg?

I have heard of using preperation H. Might worth given it a try

Well actually we got the egg out just fine and we could feel another egg (tomorrows egg) in there too. But the problem is that the tissue keeps falling back out and its gonna get infected. No she's been laying eggs for about 2 weeks now but she layed a double yoker the other day and i think it pushed her and caused this to happen.

Well, it sounds like you have done what you can for her...one last thing you could try is prep-H...it will help shrink down the tissue, and may help it stay inside where it is supposed to be...If the prolapse won't stay in, it looks like it may be time to cull...
