Clear discharge from vent

[Eggcessive]

It does look like egg material coming from her vent. Sometimes a hen will have a shell-less egg burst inside. Have you seen any signs of a membrane or shell? You might want to give her some extra calcium, in the form of a human calcium tablet, Tums, or a finely crushed whole egg shell and a little cooked egg. You can do that for several days to see if her egg shells improve.

Can you gather her up and inspect her more closely? I agree with @casportpony it looks like there is an egg membrane hanging out of the vent.

She's roosting now.

I will get her some more oyster shell tomorrow. I ran out last week. Is there anything else i need to do besides get her oyster shell and pray?

I see. Usually I go get mine if something is concerning me and don't wait until morning. Hopefully your gal will expel that overnight.

Me too.

Well I am concerned but what am I supposed to do?

Hens may not eat enough of the oyster shell to treat something like this. If you don’t have calcium tablets or Tumas, just pop an egg shell into the food processor with a little scrambled egg, maybe 1/2 one. Then feed it to her. Layer feed and oyster shell are good to have day to day, but with an acute problem, you need to get some calcium into her right away.

I would go check her to see if that is still hanging out. Give her bottom a clean-up and see if there's discharge leaking from the vent.
Give her some calcium and poultry vitamins, then put her back in the coop. Re-Check in the morning.

Will a cooked egg be okay for now and If so how fine should I crush the shell?

 

[Eggcessive]

Cooked egg. If you have a blender or food processor, that would work, but just get it finely chopped so she will eat it with the egg. Many older women may have calcium tablets, and lots have Tums or even Rolaids.
