URGENT! My chicken has an enlarged bleeding butt!? (there is a graphic picture)

[ChickiNovice]

I noticed that my chicken didn't seem like she was moving very fast and she was eating and drinking very slowly when i brought her inside to see what was wrong I saw this and I have no idea what to do. Is she going to die? please help me figure out the problem

Sounds like it could be a prolapse. Can you post a picture?

You need to make sure an egg isn't still in there... get a glove, KY Jelly and gently check for one.

Give her some calcium, put her in a dark, warm, quiet place and see if she can pass it. Go check for the egg and let us know what you find.

when my chicken had a prolapse, i put some preparation H on a gloved finger and gently pushed it back up in a slightly upwards motion to make sure it went back up the oviduct. my hen kept trying to push it back out but eventually stopped and let it stay in. I would see what casportpony has to say about it first because i know she/he knows a lot from previous threads.
