Prolapse vent and possible vent gleet?

[HannahRose98]

My girl has a prolapsed vent and some type of yellowish paste on her vent too. I’ve been giving her epsom salt baths everyday and keeping the vent clean the best I can. I’ve been trying to push it back in after cleaning once or twice a day but it keeps coming back out. Should I just leave it alone and keep cleaning? I’ve also started giving her calcium with D-3 and some electrolytes. There’s also some weird film forming on the prolapse that’s stuck on. I’m not sure if it’s a scab or what. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Also just want to mention she’s been like this for about a week.

I'd bet that's egg on her. She probably was trying to lay a larger one and that's how the prolapse happened. Just a guess though.

Here's a good article by our BYC Project Manager: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/prolapsed-chicken-vent.78134/

His chicken example looks way worse than yours so I hope it helps!
