Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Mariana was looking rather off colour this morning and her vent looked red and was protruding a little. I thought "uh oh, is this our first prolapse?". So, Ian and I donned some surgical gloves and Ian held her with her vent towards me and I very gently prodded her vent, to see if it was a prolapse. She promptly laid a huge soft egg which I VERY gently helped to ease out. She's now right as rain! I didn't panic and I felt very proud of us for having the knowledge to 'fix' our little girl And, it's all thanks to the knowledge I've picked up on this forum!

Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Oh well done! Your quick action sounds like you saved her a lot of discomfort! thanks, in the early days something like that would have really made me panic so I was dead proud of the way we dealt with it. New chook keepers take heart, the panic will subside, just keep reading the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
