I have a bantam salmon faverolle hen who I just got recently. She has not laid an egg for me but I figured it was moving. Three days ago I found what appeared to be a chunk of shelless egg in her pen. Then yesterday I found she had yellow coming from her vent. I checked her abdomen and it was hard. So I brought her in and let her soak in warm water and massaged her. I gave her tums dissolved in water, added calcium to her feed and keep her inside. Since then she has had several more soaks, I checked her vent and was not able to tell anything. When you look at her vent the hard round is down, I thought eggs came from above. She still has egg yolk colored fluid coming out of her vent and a little blood. The size of the mass is about goose egg size. Now she is just sleeping , however her comb is still pink. My questions are... 1 how do I see in her vent to tell if there is an egg? 2 where would the egg be? I am very frustrated not being able to help her.
