Sorry you lost her, Siamese. I'm not really knowledgeable about prolapse or egg binding, since so far my hens have never had that problem, but Stacy2564 has a similar problem with one of her hens. See post "Bleeding Chicken".

If you have the stomach for it, try doing a bit of an autopsy to see if she was eggbound. It may help your other hens to have more information.

Once the tissue of the vent protrudes and is visible, the other hens will often peck at it until the blood loss is significant. I have heard of people using Preparation H to shrink the tissue, but I have also heard this is not a good idea. So who knows.

I'm really sorry about your hen Siamese, how old was she? what was she acting like before she died?

I've heard this condition is more common in young birds but I'm not sure. Again i'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of your loss. We had the same thing happen to our 3 y/o delaware "Dove" over the weekend. She didn't act sick or anything. We were out feeding green treats on Friday before dark and everyone was fine. The next morning went out to let them dig in the dirt, and Dove was gone. Could have been prolapse, tho I thought this was for pullets. Maybe it was her age....
