Does Sunny need more calcium or protein--laid partial egg laden with poop?

[Wyorp Rock]

My two year old Cinnamon Queen has always has always laid thin, striated shelled eggs--sometimes from the roost (outside the nesting box). This morning she did not lay at the usual time. This evening (outside the coop), when eating treat of mash and scrambled egg, she exuded a partial soft-shelled egg with poop on it. Her behind looks generally messy. She is not a bird that likes to be touched.

From looking at other threads it seems that "fly strike" or some type of worm are possibilities.

Can you post photos of the eggs?

You're looking at other threads and it seems like FlyStrike is a possibility? You see worms/maggots on or around her vent?
Photos?

IF she has FlyStrike, then that needs to be addressed asap. Maggots will damage tissue and often if not caught and treated early, a hen can die.

Sure! I've been giving them more protein lately (in the form of scrambled egg and beef scraps), is that what you mean?

No, no sign of fly strike as far as I know. I'm new to all of this and just trying to figure out the problem...I'm just learning here that fly strike can be/is extremely dangerous so will look carefully and take it seriously. Can't get her into the vet till Mon or Tues, but maybe not necessary. I truly appreciate everybody's experience and help.

Tomorrow in the light of day I will take her into the house, give her a warm epsom bath and look carefully at her vent for signs of parasites, inflammation, anything else. Will try to post pics here. Than you all for your help.
