She keeps on pushing it back out. How do I stop her?

 

[Mrs J]

How do i keep her from pushing it back out?

You can’t. It might take a few tries for it to go back in and stay in. Try to keep her calm and relaxed. Make sure the prolapse doesn’t dry out, keep it moist. And gently try to push it back in.

She hasn't layed her egg yet today. Is it possible she may still be trying to?

 

[Mrs J]

Let me tag some people who have more experience and knowledge with this.

if the other hens were pecking at it, will that lower her chances of surviving?

Yes. Can you bring her inside?

Yes, separate her straight away, then clean her, you could give her an Epsom salt bath, which should clean and relax her and then apply the petroleum jelly if that is all you have.
