Chicken had broken soft-shelled egg inside her; likely impacted crop. Need guidance before it's too late.

How is she doing today?

I nursed my old hen Mathilda through about 6 egg binding incidents over the years, especially as she got older. Heat, baths, calcium and metacam always got her through without the need for antibiotics - but if you suspect infection by all means add them too.

It’s always stressful but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence!
Did you try to flush her with water? If so how did you do it. I have a tiny hen sitting in a bath right now. She expelled half a soft shell egg. I may try that tomorrow if recommended. Tonight I’ll keep her warm.
