Broken egg in vent

[Rhodaandred]

I have a hen I was carrying and I fell with her she had egg in vent and it broke what should I do?

Give her human calcium or Tums to help her expel the rest if the egg. Has she passed any of the shell and contents? I would gently feel for any shell pieces and try to remove them. You can lubricate her vent if needed. Clean her up with warm soap and water. Any pictures may help.

I cleaned her up and was able to remove the shell. I had gloves on and used KY. I believe I was able to remove entire egg and contents.

Sometimes a broken egg can be due to thin shelled eggs. It can be a good environment for infection. Hopefully, she will be fine.

I cleaned her up and was able to remove shell should I still give her tums?

Was the shell or have the recent shells been soft or thin? If not, and since she passed the shell, I probably would not. But if they were, it would not hurt.

No her shells have been fine. The reason the shell was broke I was putting her up for night and didn’t realize she had egg in vent and was about to lay because she had got in my yard and I had to look for her and found her in flower bed. And I fell with and I think it broke when we fell. Fortunately I didn’t fall on her nor injure her.
