Advice needed please. One of my hens has a small red lump sticking out of her rear end. I am wondering if it is prolapse. What is the best way of dealing with it? She seems quite happy in herself.

Sounds like a prolapse. Some people put them in a warm bath, push it back in gently and apply anulsol cream. While it may work temporarily, as soon as they lay an egg again there is a chance it will happen again. Chickens being chickens will peck at red things and it can soon become a blooming mess and in my opinion the kindest thing to do is to dispatch the hen before she gets pecked. :(

Thank you for your help. I shall send her on her way. It is such as shame as she is a friendly little thing.
