Help! BO layed goopy egg??

[WalnutTree]

My favorite hen Ginger is refusing to drink. She has plenty of appetite but refused to drink when i checked on the chickens this afternoon.

I also found what looks to be a goopy egg shell that came out with some feces. I am not sure if its Ginger but worried if this is an egg and wondering what i should do.
Below are the pictures of the feces and egg(?) how i found them.

Shove the tablet into her beak and she will swallow it.

Next time you take a photo of unidentifyable stuff, place a familiar object or a ruler next to it for scale.

Please tell us the approximate size. Cut into it and tell us if it seems cheesy and waxy and if it's layered. Does there seem to be egg membrane?

How old is she? How log has she been laying? Has she ever had a shell-less egg? How long ago?

I would pick up the calcium citrate with D at Walmart or a drug store in the vitamin aisle. You can also use plain old calcium with vitamin D3, or Tums, but the citrate is most quickly absorbed. Aim for 600 mg a day of the calcium, and give it for a few days until she lays. Does her feed have 4% calcium, and do you put out crushed oyster shell in a container for them to take as needed? Has she been able to dust bathe?

How is her overal behavior? Is she active/moving about or standing around puffed up?

To me, it looks like a membrane of a soft shelled egg. Hard to tell if the contents spilled after the membrane was expelled or before.

I'd get some Calcium into her. Give 1 Calcium Citrate with D3 once daily for several days.

If she's eating on her own, then she'll likely drink on her own too. You can offer her some wet feed if you're worried she's not drinking enough.

The white flaky material just looks like a bit of dried poop.

I'd get the calcium into her, see how she acts over the next day or so.

New photos of her today and her rump. Will be getting that calcium supplement. How do i feed it to her though?

Goodness! Have you been feeding her anything new recently?

Looks like it could be a soft-shelled egg

It looks like a lash egg, which isn't good unfortunately.
I think you can try to treat it with an antibiotic but not quite sure.
