Please help, my most outgoing chicken had an egg break inside! It happened yesterday but that was not the apparent problem at first (I didn’t see anything there & had reason to believe it was sour crop based on some rotten fruit she had eaten.
This morning she had a slow start but then was fine & acting normal, pecking around & digging. She went back to docile a little while ago - just standing there & closing her eyes off & on and I just checked her again to find the broken egg.
I found part of the shell on the ground, pulled another part of the shell out of her with no problem. But there’s still a piece in there that’s very soft & flexible (maybe the membrane?) and stuck. I pulled gently but it’s obviously caught on or wrapped around something so I stopped. A watery poop with what looks like worms came out after I did that.
Please someone help I have no idea what to do & I’m really scared for her! Thank you!
Here’s a pic of the poop but she won’t let me get a shot of her vent.
