What I have done with my hens, I wash my hands very clean. Then I clean the vent very clean too. At that point I push the vent back inside and put on preparation H. Seems to help shrink the imflamation and so far it has always worked. I also put her in a dark place for a day. Turn on a low light every six hours for an hour to feed and water durning that time. Depending on how it looks, (can't be any red, other chickens will peck it) I may keep her up a second day. 😊
Sounds like you've developed the perfect protocol for this condition! Preparation H sounds like a good fix for any poor creature's swollen-up butt tissue.
@@jo9364 I believe it is because if you put it on the prolapse that prolapse is what gets pushed back into the hen. It would be like putting preparation H in your rectum or vagina. Prep H is for external use. I read it on other sites and saw some video's on it but I'm so sorry I can't recall it was awhile ago. After re-reading your comment you apply it AFTER you push the prolapse in. I guess the fear is if it pops out and prep H is on exterior it can get interior. But if it worked for you and no ill effects then to each his own right? I had great success with mine by just a bath with dawn dish soapy water soak. Vaseline and hydrocortizone. That is what was recommended. I had to do it again the next day but now all is fine. (just happened this week.) For the first time in having birds for several years. I changed food from Organic to not organic. I truly believe the GMO food is what causes this. I have researched GMO foods and it disrupts fertility in humans and messes with your gut so why would animals be any different? Just a thought to ponder. God Bless
Thank you for this information. I lost one of my girls, she was 5 years old and still laying. I would push it back in, one to two days later she continued to prolapse and one week later passed away after laying her last egg.
Soak her bottom in really warm water very gently feel for any foreign debris that could be stuck to her tissue. Take your time pushing it back in with steady light pressure. Once you feel it go back in. Keep your hand over the opening in case she try's to push it back out. Dont let it come back out. The longer it stays in the better. Check it every couple hours. See how she pooping. Thank you for your videos.
I had a hen that had a prolapse and I guess I noticed it too late so when I got her inside to quarantine I noticed she wouldnt eat very much and was lethargic so with the hen being a production breed I checked inside her vent and found an egg had broken inside her and smelled rotten. Sad to say but she passed away a day later but was not alone and kept in a safe area. Now I know the signs to look for and pray it never happens again to any of my hens because it was so stressful and upsetting to lose my favorite girl.
I am so empathetic with my animals that it really hurts when I lose one. Someone told me I care to much about my pets. I told that person I am their Shepard and I am responsible for them I take their wellbeing seriously. Animals are treated poorly and I see it as a symptom of the deterioration of our culture. So it's nice to hear of someone with love in their heart. I'm sorry you lost one in your flock. I'm trying to save one too.
I would like to thank you so much for this wonderful information. You saved the life of my little disabled chicken. She had an egg bound so far outside that I had to help her pass it by applying olive oil around the vent and egg. It came out easily, but her vent had prolapsed. I’m so glad I found your video before because I knew what I needed to do. Her vent kept coming back out, and I didn’t know how far to push it in. Eventually, after holding it inside for as long as possible, as you recommended, it stayed in. Her vent was so swollen. I put some honey around it, and it calmed her skin down. The following day, it looked like she was going to prolapse again. So, I made the glucose solution and mixed in some honey and applied it around and inside just the edges. The following day, it looked nice and pink. She pooped and it was fine. I hand fed her. Luckily she ate. I will apply 2-3 times per day as you suggested. I also have brought her inside. I placed her in my dog’s kennel (the canvas type with zippers) and put her in the bedroom with me. I will keep her inside at night, separate from the others from now on. I realized that she can’t maneuver herself well around them, and that puts a lot of pressure on the side that can’t move. I had adopted her, so I don’t know what happened to her exactly, but it looks like she was born with that disability. Her right leg cannot straighten out, so basically, she hops , limps and drags. She’s a happy chicken, but I think she wasn’t able to get good sleep around the others. I have a baby monitor in the coop, so I could see that she was moving around, possibly to find a good position to lay on. On the night she slept inside, she didn’t move an inch. She was so quiet that I thought she had died. I think she was having her first deep sleep. I’ll keep her inside at night from now on, and let her out during the day with the others. Thank you again for your information. It saved her life.
Thank you for the incredibly important info. I am a new chicken Mama so I have not run into this yet but it's great to have a game plan if it comes up.
Thank you for sharing. I had a chicken that had a prolapse and she didn’t make it. Took her to the vet and my girl was just pushing way to hard and it would not stay in her.. this is great info to help me the next time.
OMGsh, Salt looked pretty big on that shelf in her photo shoot, but then when you're holding her she looks SO tiny! I'm glad you were able to help here heal. Awwww, what a great POTUS!!!
I've had a chicken with this once & I hope to never have to deal with it again. It took weeks of dark quiet segregation & twice a day epsom salt baths. It was a bad case & I'd have to let her relax in the warm bath until her re-tucked in vent stopped pulsing & pushing back out. She eventually came good & is a great layer. It was her first egg & we believe she had been given a layer pellet too early & should have stayed on pullet grower longer as we would have done. This happened soon after we got her at auction.
I just had this happen to one of my hens this week. I always feed Organic feed or non GMO feed. I cut corners because of the cost of feed and I believe this is what caused my hen to prolapse. I have had chickens for several years. NEVER had a problem until feeding them GMO feed. I don't know if you know this but....GMO foods disrupt fertility in humans. It also causes havoc on your gut and gut flora. So it would make sense that this is part of chickens reproductive and intestinal tract right? Something to ponder. God Bless
Thank you so much for all that you share. I bought your book and have learned how to keep chickens from all your videos. Today we had a scary shock as one of our chickens had a prolapsed vent. I had learned this could happen by watching your videos. I immediately grabbed my phone to search for your video. We had colloidal silver and raw honey. So far she is doing well. So grateful for you ❤
I had my favorite hen get that this spring and I didn’t notice in time, and she was pitiful with apparently getting pecked due to the blood that day too when I seen it. I ended up having to cull her and believe me it was hard to do but I couldn’t save her and needed to get her out of pain. She was my smallest hen and had the biggest personality and the only hen that could fly way up high on a particular high roost. I miss her so much and always check their behinds daily now. Thanks for the recipe!
It's heartbreaking when we find problems but we are too late. My sweet rooster died a couple months ago. He had gapeworm but I'm new flock mom so I didn't know what he had. I tried everything, the REST method, called local farm stores, went to chain farm stores but no one could help me. Finally a neighbor diagnosed him but by this time it was too late and the medication couldn't help. 😥

Honey is sucrose that has been reverted back to the individual monosaccharides along with other ingredients added by the bees.
I've found that once it's prolapse, take a little bit of time gently massaging and working out any poop that may be backed up. It'll help clear up an issue that caused it in the first place and keep the chicken from immediately wanting to push it back out
@@WelcometoChickenlandia omg she's cute! I don't have any suramas but it's a dream of mine lol I have D'uccles, Golden Sea Brights and Genger Red Bantams. My big stock are Light Brahmas c:
So glad to have come across your videos. I never had that happen with my first go around with chickens. I now have 27 new ones and hopefully any issue I come across, you will have the answer. I love all my girls.
I just lost my chicken to a prolapse I’m so heartbroken. She was a backyard chicken and I’ve never experienced that before but me and my mum did the best we could but unfortunately her intestines were also falling out. We had the option of surgery but she was so weak we had to put her down.
Oh my! I just took my chicken also named "Salt" to the vet today for prolapsed vent. I came home and looked at your page to see if you had any videos about it. Thank you for always being here Dahlia with such good information and care!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It is going to be so helpful to me as one of my baby male chickens had a prolapse, I am going to take that water And wipe his butt twice A-day and keep him separated from the rest!
Such a useful video. Thanks so much. I had a quail with a prolapse and VERY carefully I managed to push it in. I popped it in a few times and eventually it stayed put. I so hope I never face it with my big girls but I will deal with it as required. All the best. Mags
New chicken owner here. I almost cried when I saw your video. I lost one my little white, skinny girls because of this last week. I kept bathing her, and stuffing it back in and putting medication on it. Yep, I have 6 kids and that was the grossest thing I have ever had to do. She was a new lady to us and clearly was malnourished was way to little to be laying. She was also pecking at the others' eggs.
"Prolapse, PROLAPSE"! Why the heck isn't anyone ANTI-lapse anymore?!! But no, a prolapsed vent is serious business for a bird. Thanks for that glucose-water treatment tip! I'd be chary of using Bag Balm on it--while it's a great antibiotic, it nurtures yeast (I know that from using it on my own cha-cha, har).
I love everything you do to help us out with our feathered babies! My chicken first aid kit is pretty much complete, not sure about mine. I’m not squeamish when it comes to a suffering animal.
I HAD NO IDEA! Thank you so much!!!! I just got Chicks in October (now they are almost Chickens) they are my first Chickens and I did NOT know this is what I have to maybe do! You probably just saved my 13 Chickens (And all my Chickens to come!) cuz I didn't know this was a thing!!!! Me AND My Chickens THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
New chicken owner here in PNW. Do you have a video explaining the most important illnesses to look for, say during a monthly chicken check up? I know it may be different for each breed, but something just general. Like a list to go by during a check up. I'm thinking like an annual well child check up! Thanks.
I amuse my birds by building them forts from fallen limbs and leaves where they can lurk and hide from hawks. My best idea is a "Corn:30," a cob of corn stuck in a brick like a sundial. They all go crazy pecking at it!
Well, this was interesting! Kinda like, chicken hemorrhoids.. 🥺 Thank you for the tips! Did the vet sedate her to put in the stitch? Curious, as I may have to do it myself someday (pray that day never comes! 🙏🏻)
Well, adding this video to my chicken info playlist. I'm new to chickens, but on the chicken forums I saw someone report that witch hazel had helped retract the vent in their prolapsed chick. Not the most soothing of medications, as it does sting, but at the same time, if that's what a person has on hand...
I barely started selling eggs like last month. I've got like 20 laying hens. Didn't sale the past 2 years but decided this year. Aaannnnddddd of course I got 1 chicken that's got a prolapse. Thank you so much I hope this helps me
I just checked one of my girls, and the prolapse is awful! Gave her a bath, washed off all around the vent, and tried pushing stuff back in. Nothing worked. Can't afford a vet right now, so *dang it*.
soooo glad u saved Salt!!! =)) i have a crested cream legbar that has developed waterbelly in her second yr....poor thing....the vet just said to cull her...but i will let her stay with us as long as possible ....she lays the most beautiful blue eggs...but being a production breed they dont have a long life expentancy sadly...
I had a hen with prolapsed vent. Took her to vet and was diagnosed with staph infection. Took meds for 15 days. Quarantined. Prolapse went away after just a couple of days on meds.
Thank you so much for your videos! A new chicken momma as well. I've got 5 hens hoping, and 2 roosters. They were hatched about 4/12/22, 15 weeks now. I will be sure to watch for this as well. I do have a little hen with a crossed beak. Any helpful hints, she is way smaller than the other 2 Auracana chickens. Thanks❣
To prevent the chicken from laying an egg, you have to change her environment. Keep her in a dark room for most of the day, feeding her only cracked corn (occasional sprouts for greens). You want to feed her, but nothing that will nutritionally encourage egg laying. I would take my hen out of her dark crate pen every couple of hours for 10-15 minutes to treat the prolapse, then hold her on my lap to give her hugs and loving attention, and then allow her some time back in the crate pen with minimal lighting, so she could eat and drink, before darkening the room again. If you change the light cycle so there's very little daylight, they are not likely to lay eggs.
I've had pet chickens for a long time this is my first one. She's a big girl. I've pushed it back in but didn't know what to do after this. I don't have a vet near me. We'll wait and see 😔
I just got 6 new chicks a few days ago. I noticed one had pasty butt, so I cleaned that, only to discover she had a small prolapse. Any advice for a baby chick? Thanks! I love your videos, you've taught me so much!
Just finding this video now, after I lost a hen last week to prolapsed vent. Found her dead in the morning outside the coop. I didn't check her the night before, but I know she overnighted inside the roost house; the video footage (yes I have a camera inside the roost house 🤦🏼♀) caught her backside at one moment at 1am, and sure enough showed a glistening mass. I'm SO sad I didn't catch it sooner 😭 Please explain why sugar water is good for inflammation, and why it would be preferential to honey (which is a lightbulb but makes more sense bc of its other wonderful properties). Also please say how long (minutes /hours...?) you sat holding hen with paper towel to her vent stopping it from re-prolapsing? Thank you for all your honest videos!
I have a baby chick that is a week old with a prolapsed vent. Shes so tiny i cant use my pinky. How woukd you suggested me do this? I have never ever had a prolapse vent before. Thank you
Do you continue the sugar water in the vent even when the prolapse is healing? It’s been 4 days now since it’s been ok. But she hasn’t laid an egg in 6 so I’m waiting to see if it’ll stay in once that happens. Thanks 😊
Can you help me Miss President of Chickenlandia? My chicken has been sneezing for weeks and I noticed recently that she's been rubbing her beak on any hard surface she can, like it itches or something. I've been using VetRX on her and it's helped with the wheezing and open mouth breathing but it appears that something is irritating her beak and I don't have any idea what it could be. Any suggestions?
HELP!! Im a first chicken and guinea hen momma. Yesterday unfortunately a coyote got 2 of my guinea hens. Today, I noticed another one of my guinea hens had what looked like a ball of something out of her ven. I had no idea about prolapse and i think she has an egg stuck as well. Any thoughts how to care for this? HELP
I noticed something sticking out of my chicken today, looked bulbus and vainy, but then it disappeared. I looked at her, and it was gone. Any idea what that was/is? Also, she as poop stuck to the bottom of her rear real close to the skin. We got most of it off, but the other was so close to skin, I was afraid I was going to hurt her if I tried to snip it off. We looked up info on it, and the only info we can find is putting her in lukewarm water for awhile, and start to soften it up and ease it off. But someone told us, if our chickens have worms, the the water can drive the worms crazy, and will actually kill our chicken. What should we do?
Omg I have found 1 of my hens prolapse and there is no way the size of that huge ball is g0ing back inside so I put preparation H on it to reduce swelling after I bated all the old yuky stuff off herto see what was going on will the ointment reduce it or will she make it
I just dealt with a prolaped vent on one of my hens. The first time in the 9 years of owning chickens. Sooooo I stopped to THINK, what have I done differently? Answer: I switched food from non GMO or Organic feed. ONLY because I have meat birds now and they are eating me out of house and home so to cut my budget down I bought regular chicken feed. I am almost POSITIVE it is from the feed. GMO foods disrupt HUMAN gut flora and reproduction so it makes sense. I am going to switch back to my organic feed. If prolapsed vent does not work the first time keep trying. I had to do it the first time ever and I was so nervous. I soaked my hens but in water for almost 20 minutes. It took but the next day I had to repeat. I was also told this can go on for 30 days. DON'T give up. If I can do it anyone can. You are suppose to put your hen in a dark room to prevent her from laying. I didn't do that but it worked. Who in the world would stitch a hens vent????? OMG. You can do that with pigs or cows but NOT a hen who lays eggs. I would also NEVER put HONEY on that area. Other hens will smell that and start pecking. Vaseline is what needs to be used.
Thank you madame President !!! I think prolapse is mostly due primary or secondary to calcium deficiency because muscles have to have calcium to contract. I appreciate you not filming an animal in distress, I would not do that either!!! Glad everything is going well, may Jesus bless your family (including chickens)!!!!!
Sometimes when the chickens need to stay immobilized because of injury I wrap them in a thin towel and a put them in a dark space until I take them out to feed. Salt was looking so cute in the pet carrier !!! Glad she’s okay !!!
QUESTION: Do you put the gluclose solution inside the vent once the prolapse is pushed back in or just on the outside area? Also could you clean the area with Hydrogen Peroxide before putting it back in? Some say to put Preparation H on it....Thanks!
@@WelcometoChickenlandia Great. Thank you! I had to get a needle and syringe and drain my chickens water belly a month ago...who would have thought it ~the lengths we will go to to help our chickens! Excellent video.:)
@@voiceofmanywaters3720 , I probably wouldn’t put hydrogen peroxide like on the intestinal muscosa, I think it might damage it. I had a chicken with prolapse from gleet and I feel like it damaged tissue. Prep H or some petroleum based product is probably best on the prolapse area.

We are a homestead on ten acres in the pacific NW of Oregon. 🥳We love watching your fun, cheerful videos!!! We just love you!!
Great information 👍🏾. Thank You for being the Chicken Lady 🐓❤️😄!
"Prolapse, PROLAPSE"! Why the heck isn't anyone ANTI-lapse anymore?!! But no, a prolapsed vent is serious business for a bird. Thanks for that glucose-water treatment tip! I'd be chary of using Bag Balm on it--while it's a great antibiotic, it nurtures yeast (I know that from using it on my own cha-cha, har).
Good point!
I love everything you do to help us out with our feathered babies! My chicken first aid kit is pretty much complete, not sure about mine. I’m not squeamish when it comes to a suffering animal.
Amazing video
I HAD NO IDEA! Thank you so much!!!! I just got Chicks in October (now they are almost Chickens) they are my first Chickens and I did NOT know this is what I have to maybe do! You probably just saved my 13 Chickens (And all my Chickens to come!) cuz I didn't know this was a thing!!!! Me AND My Chickens THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this information
You are wonderful I have learned so much from you. Thank you
Always great information on raising backyard chickens. Hope the book is a massive success.
New chicken owner here in PNW. Do you have a video explaining the most important illnesses to look for, say during a monthly chicken check up? I know it may be different for each breed, but something just general. Like a list to go by during a check up. I'm thinking like an annual well child check up! Thanks.
Good info. to know…THANKS. :) Glad salt is doing better.
so basically the same water you make for hummingbirds, lol
Would you do a video on Chicken entertainment to prevent boredom please? It would be so helpful
I amuse my birds by building them forts from fallen limbs and leaves where they can lurk and hide from hawks. My best idea is a "Corn:30," a cob of corn stuck in a brick like a sundial. They all go crazy pecking at it!
YES! We needs it! lol (& so do the chickens!) 😁
This should interest you! th-cam.com/video/B2F21Uue5-A/w-d-xo.html
@@WelcometoChickenlandia how much feed do you use monthly?
@@WelcometoChickenlandia And thanks for the link, it was so helpful
Hi Dalia, have you ever done a video on vent gleet? 😬
Well, this was interesting! Kinda like, chicken hemorrhoids.. 🥺
Thank you for the tips! Did the vet sedate her to put in the stitch? Curious, as I may have to do it myself someday (pray that day never comes! 🙏🏻)
She didn’t have to sedate her but he gave her a local anesthetic. ❤️
I had to put down one of my chickens due to this around week ago. So sad.
I’m so sorry!
Well, adding this video to my chicken info playlist. I'm new to chickens, but on the chicken forums I saw someone report that witch hazel had helped retract the vent in their prolapsed chick. Not the most soothing of medications, as it does sting, but at the same time, if that's what a person has on hand...
I'm here because my runner duck has a prolapse. She's soaking in the tub and I'm getting ready to take your advice. Thank you!
I barely started selling eggs like last month. I've got like 20 laying hens. Didn't sale the past 2 years but decided this year. Aaannnnddddd of course I got 1 chicken that's got a prolapse. Thank you so much I hope this helps me
I just checked one of my girls, and the prolapse is awful! Gave her a bath, washed off all around the vent, and tried pushing stuff back in. Nothing worked.
Can't afford a vet right now, so *dang it*.
I have a white leghorn that lays huge eggs and has a prolapsed vent. Going to try what you have said. It keeps popping out.
I lost a young duck from that, she had big eggs. 🙁 It's similar treatment for goats I've heard also. Very important topic
I’m sorry for your loss!
soooo glad u saved Salt!!! =)) i have a crested cream legbar that has developed waterbelly in her second yr....poor thing....the vet just said to cull her...but i will let her stay with us as long as possible ....she lays the most beautiful blue eggs...but being a production breed they dont have a long life expentancy sadly...
Hello
I had a hen with prolapsed vent. Took her to vet and was diagnosed with staph infection. Took meds for 15 days. Quarantined. Prolapse went away after just a couple of days on meds.
thank you for the video. I just had to do this on my little bantam. When should I start feeding her again?
Love your channel ❤️ Hope mine can get as good as yours one day!!!
Thank you so much for your videos! A new chicken momma as well. I've got 5 hens hoping, and 2 roosters. They were hatched about 4/12/22, 15 weeks now. I will be sure to watch for this as well.
I do have a little hen with a crossed beak. Any helpful hints, she is way smaller than the other 2 Auracana chickens. Thanks❣
Would you change diet after prolapse to give break in egg laying? If so what would diet would be good to help this?
To prevent the chicken from laying an egg, you have to change her environment. Keep her in a dark room for most of the day, feeding her only cracked corn (occasional sprouts for greens). You want to feed her, but nothing that will nutritionally encourage egg laying.
I would take my hen out of her dark crate pen every couple of hours for 10-15 minutes to treat the prolapse, then hold her on my lap to give her hugs and loving attention, and then allow her some time back in the crate pen with minimal lighting, so she could eat and drink, before darkening the room again. If you change the light cycle so there's very little daylight, they are not likely to lay eggs.
❤️thank you
I've had pet chickens for a long time this is my first one. She's a big girl. I've pushed it back in but didn't know what to do after this. I don't have a vet near me. We'll wait and see 😔
Can I get a update please? 🙏
I just got 6 new chicks a few days ago. I noticed one had pasty butt, so I cleaned that, only to discover she had a small prolapse. Any advice for a baby chick? Thanks! I love your videos, you've taught me so much!
Can this happen to young chicks around 4-5 weeks old?
Just finding this video now, after I lost a hen last week to prolapsed vent. Found her dead in the morning outside the coop. I didn't check her the night before, but I know she overnighted inside the roost house; the video footage (yes I have a camera inside the roost house 🤦🏼♀) caught her backside at one moment at 1am, and sure enough showed a glistening mass. I'm SO sad I didn't catch it sooner 😭 Please explain why sugar water is good for inflammation, and why it would be preferential to honey (which is a lightbulb but makes more sense bc of its other wonderful properties). Also please say how long (minutes /hours...?) you sat holding hen with paper towel to her vent stopping it from re-prolapsing? Thank you for all your honest videos!
Are these the same procedures if the hen has an egg stuck inside???
I have a baby chick that is a week old with a prolapsed vent. Shes so tiny i cant use my pinky. How woukd you suggested me do this? I have never ever had a prolapse vent before. Thank you
Wow the prolapse on my 6 week old Cornish cross went right back inside her without my help
Can i do the same to cockatiels?
Please tell me
Do you continue the sugar water in the vent even when the prolapse is healing? It’s been 4 days now since it’s been ok. But she hasn’t laid an egg in 6 so I’m waiting to see if it’ll stay in once that happens. Thanks 😊
Can chickens survive on the wild? They seem like sheep that need to be protected, groomed and tendered.
Can you help me Miss President of Chickenlandia? My chicken has been sneezing for weeks and I noticed recently that she's been rubbing her beak on any hard surface she can, like it itches or something. I've been using VetRX on her and it's helped with the wheezing and open mouth breathing but it appears that something is irritating her beak and I don't have any idea what it could be. Any suggestions?
Could I take my chicken outside each day for just a little while? While I'm treating her.
HELP!! Im a first chicken and guinea hen momma. Yesterday unfortunately a coyote got 2 of my guinea hens. Today, I noticed another one of my guinea hens had what looked like a ball of something out of her ven. I had no idea about prolapse and i think she has an egg stuck as well. Any thoughts how to care for this? HELP
Do you know when the vent is better and healed it's been a week for my chicken
I noticed something sticking out of my chicken today, looked bulbus and vainy, but then it disappeared. I looked at her, and it was gone. Any idea what that was/is?
Also, she as poop stuck to the bottom of her rear real close to the skin. We got most of it off, but the other was so close to skin, I was afraid I was going to hurt her if I tried to snip it off. We looked up info on it, and the only info we can find is putting her in lukewarm water for awhile, and start to soften it up and ease it off. But someone told us, if our chickens have worms, the the water can drive the worms crazy, and will actually kill our chicken. What should we do?
How the heck does sugar bring down inflammation??. Dont get it... That is what causes most of the inflammation in the body...
I think it’s just that it tightens everything up. Definitely different topically than ingesting it, which would not be good especially for a chicken.
@@WelcometoChickenlandia that makes sense 😀
I’m scared because my chickens eggbound and I don’t want her to die, she’s eating ( I don’t feel the egg) ok well thank you , new subscriber 🙏🐾🐓🐣🌺
What if there are white streaks you can't get off? She had a couple of black spots too, I got one of the off but the other wouldn't come off.
Omg I have found 1 of my hens prolapse and there is no way the size of that huge ball is g0ing back inside so I put preparation H on it to reduce swelling after I bated all the old yuky stuff off herto see what was going on will the ointment reduce it or will she make it
What if it is bloated
I just dealt with a prolaped vent on one of my hens. The first time in the 9 years of owning chickens. Sooooo I stopped to THINK, what have I done differently? Answer: I switched food from non GMO or Organic feed. ONLY because I have meat birds now and they are eating me out of house and home so to cut my budget down I bought regular chicken feed. I am almost POSITIVE it is from the feed. GMO foods disrupt HUMAN gut flora and reproduction so it makes sense. I am going to switch back to my organic feed. If prolapsed vent does not work the first time keep trying. I had to do it the first time ever and I was so nervous. I soaked my hens but in water for almost 20 minutes. It took but the next day I had to repeat. I was also told this can go on for 30 days. DON'T give up. If I can do it anyone can. You are suppose to put your hen in a dark room to prevent her from laying. I didn't do that but it worked. Who in the world would stitch a hens vent????? OMG. You can do that with pigs or cows but NOT a hen who lays eggs. I would also NEVER put HONEY on that area. Other hens will smell that and start pecking. Vaseline is what needs to be used.
Poor chicken😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺
Please help asap
Thank you madame President !!! I think prolapse is mostly due primary or secondary to calcium deficiency because muscles have to have calcium to contract. I appreciate you not filming an animal in distress, I would not do that either!!! Glad everything is going well, may Jesus bless your family (including chickens)!!!!!
Sometimes when the chickens need to stay immobilized because of injury I wrap them in a thin towel and a put them in a dark space until I take them out to feed. Salt was looking so cute in the pet carrier !!! Glad she’s okay !!!
I just give them a bath in salt water
The video was too long and my chicken died
You know, I get it...but really, it's a chicken folks. We live in different times but this bird would have been culled and eaten in other days.
Too much words
This is very valuable information 🤫
So sorry for such troubles.
Salt is so sweet. I would have done the same. :)
Great video! Never heard about the glucose solution….. can you tell me if you have a source for Serama chickens? I just love them 🤍 Salt is precious 🤍
Glucose has its place.
QUESTION: Do you put the gluclose solution inside the vent once the prolapse is pushed back in or just on the outside area? Also could you clean the area with Hydrogen Peroxide before putting it back in?
Some say to put Preparation H on it....Thanks!
Yes, inside the vent. Do it very gently. You just want to rinse it out a little to tighten things up. :)
@@WelcometoChickenlandia Great. Thank you! I had to get a needle and syringe and drain my chickens water belly a month ago...who would have thought it ~the lengths we will go to to help our chickens! Excellent video.:)
@@voiceofmanywaters3720 , I probably wouldn’t put hydrogen peroxide like on the intestinal muscosa, I think it might damage it. I had a chicken with prolapse from gleet and I feel like it damaged tissue. Prep H or some petroleum based product is probably best on the prolapse area.
@@smokymountainangoras Good point!. Thank you so much for this advice and consideration.
