    Prolapsed vent

    I have a Braham that prolasped her vent trying to lay her first egg. We were able to get the egg out and push her vent back in. She has been housed in doors/dark place the last two days and been doing twice a day Epsom salt bath and using blue kote spray after. We also put undies on her to help...

    Vent Prolapse (that corrects itself?) & Involuntary Diarrhea

    One of my hens’ vent was prolapsed a little bit. I separated her from the flock, gave her an epsom salt bath, and manually put things back where they belong. I have been spraying Vetericyn on her vent daily. But when I pick her up, she strains, poops on herself, and her vent prolapses a little...

    Our two year ISA Brown, Maple, has come down with a prolapsed vent. I didn’t notice it yesterday, so I think it must be relatively new. She is still moving about, wanting to eat, and acting like her normal self. We have soaked her bottom in hot water, but after cleaning her up noticed some hard...

    Is This Vent Normal? NSFW

    Edit- I have discovered that she has a vent prolapse. I have given her a warm bath, blow dried her feathers, and used a rubber glove to apply Preparation H and hold the vent back inside of her body for a few minutes. Then, I put her in a separate cage with food and water so she won't lay any...
