    SOS egg bound! worried and confused rookie owner

    so since this whole incident she has resumed laying, but three of her eggs have been soft shell and broken. I'm assuming one of the other chickens was eating the soft shell ones rather than they broke inside of her because of the evidence and two eggs have body checks in them and wrinkles as...

    Yes i hear you about not checking the vent. that is helpful and i wont do that anymore! the first time i was actively getting a big egg membrane out that she wasnt able to pass because it balled up in a crease to the top left of her vent.
