I thought my hen was egg bound, and I was giving her a warm bath. Then I saw that egg yolk was coming from her vent. Is it possible that an egg broke inside of her? :( I have been sitting with her on my lap in a towel. She's just been sleeping on and off. She is drinking some, I don't know about eating. What do I do to get the egg out of her? Please, please, help me! I don't want my hen to die!
 
I recommend a vinegar/water flush to prevent bacterial infection, like a douche.
Use a large syringe without a needle, mixing 1 tablespoon of WHITE vinegar to 1 quart of water. Use a full syringe of the mixture and insert the syringe into her vent and gently flush. Use about 3 or 4 syringefuls, the liquid may or may not flow from her vent afterwards.
 
Bush chickens- she did, but she egg yolk.white is coming out still.

Dawg53 - I will do that, thanks.

Some more came out, I hope she will run out soon. I am sitting with her wrapped in a towel in my lap because she is shivering. Poor thing. :(
 
She seems to be doing a little better now. (Good enough for me to be away from her for more then 5 minutes.)
