Sorry if these pictures are a bit gross....I'm petsitting two hens and today, one hen briefly stopped eating....the next time I looked at her, there was what looked like a yolk (no egg) on the ground nearby and a thin looking, rather large white thing coming from her backside. It eventually was passed and I'm thinking it could be part of a soft, misshapen egg? I originally thought something had prolapsed but then the white bit fully came out. Does anyone have any experience/advice for this type of situation? She acted fine after she passed it and started eating again but I haven't seen any hard shell anywhere and am worried. I have let the owner of the hen know, of course and she'd never encountered this before but thought it could be a parasite.
