    Help! I think my chicken is sick

    I went out side today to see one of my chickens with what appears to be a broken egg hanging out of her. She won't go near the flock and is definitely not acting right. Any suggestions? Will this pass on its own? Or should I be worried? I put them all in the coop and everyone is in but her.

    Hello

    Yes we close them in at night but just wondering if we have to do this forever or will they come in and stay in without us having to close them in every night?
