My 3 year old chicken laid a soft shelled egg the other day and has been acting slower than normal. We've been trying to give her calcium but it's been challenging. She just laid this poop...lots of yellow. She's also throwing up clear liquid. Could it be that an egg broke inside of her?

To give Calcium, pull down on her wattles to open the beak and pop the Calcium tablet in and let her swallow.

Sounds like she may have another egg on the way, so the Calcium will be important. She may have also laid internally, not much you can do about that but see that she's eating/drinking.

Crops will often slow or back up if there's inflammation in the body elsewhere. Crop issues seem to go hand in hand with reproductive disorders. So I would address those symptoms as they arise according to the article linked below.
