Yesterday while gathering eggs, I noticed blood on the nesting boxes. One of the hens had a prolapse. I cleaned her up as best as I could and gently pushed it back into place. I had to do this twice. The second time it stayed but she's dripping a bloody liquid. I put her in a small crate and brought her into the laundry room last night so I could keep an eye on her.
I fed her earlier this morning and she won't eat. She's just standing in a corner. I don't know what to do with her. I would like to save her if possible but to be honest, she's never been a great layer. She's more like my daughter's pet. She's always had a problem with laying soft shelled eggs and I've read that those and prolapse go hand in hand. I'm afraid that even if I could get her over the immediate problem that this would be something I'm always going to have to watch out for with her.
What would you do?
