Bald butt and swollen below vent.

[Marie2020]

Hi I have a chicken with a similar problem. Large tennis ball size swelling below vent. Bald. I took her to the vet who xrayed and biopsied the swelling. Not cancerous but a hernia. Gave her an insert to stop her laying as her eggs had been without shell last couple of weeks. Not laying should reduce hernia size hopefully

Can you please explain further on the insert? I have zero access too a vet and desperately trying to deal with a similar problem mentioned in this thread.
