There are a lot of major problems going on with my birds so I will try my best to keep it organized as I am seeking help with all of it. Please tag anyone you think may be able to help.
For a few days now, one of our birds has been acting depressed, lethargic, pale comb. I started giving her...
Towards the end of may my kikiriki hen layed a soft egg. I gave her a layer feed that was “boosted” on oyster shells and vitamins to promote stronger eggs. She didn’t lay again till 4 days. The egg was rubbery this time but she suffered a “blowout” I read forums on here and seen sugar , honey...
Hey there. I saw my young backyard silky blend trying to lay am egg today and when she got up and walked away she had this egg inside the membrane I'm guessing hanging out. I had someone on the Facebook group say she had this happen to one of her new layers and she was able to push it in and get...
Timeline of events:
April 8 - egg yolk landed on the roost board overnight
April 9 - my hen was hiding by herself all day
April 10 - I noticed my hen did not leave the roost this morning, and a broken egg shell was stuck in her partly prolapsed vent. I removed the shell and the prolapse went...
My quail chick hatched today and immediately I noticed a pretty obvious problem on its vent area. The little guy walks around fine, eats and drinks. Has anyone seen this before? Thank you
Our hen who has previously been diagnosed with peritonitis is currently egg bound and trying to pass poop and/or the egg but cannot.
We have given her 2 epsom salt baths 15 min each and coated the outside of the vent with mineral oil. I also felt a couple centimeters into the vent and there is...
Hi,
Found my 3 year old hen (Dominant Copper Breed) with a prolapsed vent today. She is otherwise active, preening, eating, alert, etc. She has rarely ever laid eggs her whole life.
I brought her in for an Epsom salt bath with a touch of lemon essential oil and while cleaning the area found...
Hi poultry lovers,
It’s a long time since I’ve posted here, but I’m in desperate need of help and would really appreciate any thoughts or advice you can offer.
Almost 3 weeks ago I found one of our young female ducks (Daisy) with an oviduct prolapse. I took her straight to the avian vet that...
My female muscovy hen (3 years old) has started to lay which seems to have made her vent prolapse recently. It does not seem to be swollen, but i was wondering what i could do to help her vent get back in?
Hi, me again.
My hen who I found in the run yesterday with an egg stuck had it happen again today. However, today's egg was much more difficult for her to pass. She was REALLY straining and a hard mass just above her vent was protruding. I thought it was the egg at first but the egg ended up...
We've recently had 5 little Call ducklings hatch, we're nearing what would be day 31. All ended up as assists as they were shrink wrapped. I took my time and seems most are good. 3 of 5 in brooder now, getting about, eating drinking. 1 was tipping over so have been keeping in incubator in a sock...
Hi there, I’m new to backyard chickens so I apologize if I’m not posting in the appropriate forum but I believe my baby quail rescue has a prolapsed vent and I’m hoping someone here can confirm/ deny and offer some kind of advice.
Bailey had a fairly mild case of pasty butt last night, so we...

I need help :( my sweet girl is experiencing what I believe to be some kind of vent prolapse but I’m not sure the cause. I’m doing Epsom baths and electrolytes in her water. I haven’t fed her in 24 hours because I saw some people say to not do food and let her body rest...
Hi. Last week I discovered my eight-year-old narragansett hen had a vent prolapse. I went through the procedure of repeatedly pushing the prolapse back inside, and it hasn't stayed in on its own over the past seven days. I have kept her in the dark, and she has passed two eggs--both the size of...
I’m posting this for a friend whose hen has had prolapse yesterday and today. Here is what’s been happening.
Yesterday late afternoon my friend noticed blood on her hen and found it was prolapse. She removed the hen from the flock, cleaned the area by spraying with lots of warm water and...
My girl has a prolapsed vent and some type of yellowish paste on her vent too. I’ve been giving her epsom salt baths everyday and keeping the vent clean the best I can. I’ve been trying to push it back in after cleaning once or twice a day but it keeps coming back out. Should I just leave it...
My sweet girl buttercup has been laying large then usual eggs the past few weeks. Because of this she has gotten a small prolapse. I have been spraying her daily with Vetericyn and she was doing well but now I’m noticing she is being bullied!! Poor thing is getting pecked like crazy on her...
Woke up to two of my 5 week old chicks dead with gaping vents. I am not sure what happened. They are 2 of 15 in a brooder on my porch since the weather is warming up and they aren't needing a heat lamp. They've been on the porch for a little over a week and it's been fine. They get feed and...
I have a sapphire gem that had a severe vent prolapse and egg binding corrected with vet surgery yesterday afternoon. Since the procedure, she has seemed to be in shock from everything I have read. Lethargic, won’t move much, sleeping and breathing deeply. I have her in a large dog kennel in a...
