Thank you! She ate almost all of her food, drank the water, and had two massive poops overnight so I'm pretty sure the egg is all out. Keeping her on the calcium and antibiotics for 10 days just to be sure she doesn't develop an infection

First things first: I was able to remove the egg and the prolapse has gone back in. The title was mostly for attention, however I do have a couple of questions about the hen My girl, Francine, is a sapphire gem almost 2yo. She has been healthy as far as I can tell, but I suspect she has laid...

Thank you for this life saving information. One of my hens has a prolapse with what looks like cooked egg hanging from it. I will start her on the calcium and amox immediately, as well as a warm bath.

Thank you :)

Fantastic article! Thank you so much for the link! :)

Anyone? Even if there are no suggestions, is this a possible cause or should I be looking deeper for another?

Morning, all! (or afternoon, or evening)! I have a quick question; i have been all over the forums and articles but I cannot seem to word my search correctly, or this particular issue has not been addressed before. I apologize if this is something I should have been able to have answered via...

Wife to husband: “did you check in the corner under the boxes behind that little wooden platform?” What husband heard: “did you check EVERYWHERE BUT in the corner under the boxes behind that little wooden platform?” His answer was yes, but clearly it should have been no! Bahaha!

We did have several miserably hot days, but it has been much cooler recently. I was giving baths to one of the ladies, as she is a lazy squatter. I'm more concerned that something is going on with their health

The vents look okay; no discharge or stinkiness out of the ordinary.

Also, from reading other threads, I did follow the advice to trim the poopy feathers. They look a little better but if their gut is off I want to help them

I have a couple of the covered buckets with nipples; they prefer the gravity fed like this. I will remove the open dishes before I leave again but I don't know how to address what's already been done. :(

I have an emergency situation on my hands with my flock re: poopy butts. Due to a massive family emergency, I have been out of town for most of the last 6 weeks - usually gone for several days, home for one or two, gone again. When I returned home this weekend, after a 9 day absence, I found...

Thank you all for asking! I apologize for the delay in answering; family emergency that has required much of my attention. She has fully recovered and seems to be happy and healthy. She only lays about twice a week but they are normal sized eggs. A bonus is that she now trusts me completely...
