I know this last post was years ago, but just in case anyone with knowledge sees it, I'm going to try anyway. I have a hen that was acting a little sluggish and hanging by the front porch a lot even while the rest of the flock was walking around the yard. I went outside a bit later and there was an egg right outside my door covered in thick clear gooey stuff, like egg white. There was also another little puddle on the porch of the same goo. She is still acting very slow and just hiding underneath chairs and such. I checked out her vent(the outside) and it looks pinkish and normal other than the fact that it is pulsing a bit. From the outside, I don't feel any egg in her abdomen. Could she have broken an egg in there even though she did just lay a fully in tact one??
