Could you describe how to push a prolapse in please

Hen bath done. I'd forgotton how much they enjoy the warm water and my Orp, Diamond particularly liked the hairdyer  I took the laptop into the shed and we both watched Gardner's World while she was in the bath

I've cleaned all round the vent area and it looks a lot better. Got some hemerrhoid cream (the things you do for your hens  ) and have put that on and left her in a box overnight in the shed.

So we'll see how she is the morning.

Sorry - shouldn't laugh (poor Diamond) but I love your description of you both watching Gardener's World while she was in the bath. Hope she is better soon (ouch) and you picked up some good gardening tips 

Good news, went in this morning and it's popped back in. There was no sign of it. It still looks a bit red round the vent but I had to trim some of the feathers last night they were so dirty so that doesn't help the red appearance.
I put her back in with the others today with antipeck purple stuff on her rear but I've taken her out again this eve.
She hasn't laid since she came out, although I'm not sure if she did this morning. Need to see if it stays in after she lays. Fingers crossed. I've put more cream on tonight just in case things are a bit inflamed still inside where I can't see. (Hasten to add I do wear medical gloves).

Thanks EHS. I hope it's gone for good, but it's just as well to know how to do it if necessary.

I can see how sugar would be anti-inflammatory ANHBUC, although I think the grittiness might be a bit uncomfortable. Honey might work as well - they used to use it for wounds I think.

Hi Elvira - it did feel funny to be watching GW, but I know from past experience how boring it is to sit holding a hen in a bath for 30 mins otherwise. I'm sure Diamond watched too, I think she particularly liked the music
