A question came up, while we are trying to help one of our girls with what is obviously a broken egg inside her. I have flushed the vent with a warm vinegar and water mixture, got some vaseline inside the vent, but . . .
Try as I might, I could not feel anything even close to resembling shell pieces when I examined her internally. So I guess my question is, how do I know I am looking for the shell pieces in the right place? I would think if I were looking for pieces of broken shell, I should be inside the last length of oviduct, the part that closes off the cloaca from the intestine when the chicken lays. Or would the broken pieces just be there, inside the cloaca? Anyone here have any experience with this?
