HELP! Egg broke inside of chicken?

[baileybiddi]

I noticed one of my hens acting off today. When I picked her up, I noticed this coming out of her. It looks like a soft shelled egg that broke/got stuck. I felt inside and it feels like there are broken egg shells. I’m currently giving her an Epsom salt bath, what else should I do for her?

I would give her a calcium citrate with vitamin D3 tablet orally into her beak. Tums will do until you get that. Give the calcium for 7 days, or until she lays a hard shell egg. That can help her expel the shell and egg contents. How old is she, and does she usually lay normal eggs?

Good news, she’s doing great! I gave her an epsom salt bath and got the broken egg out of her. While I was blow drying her after the bath, she layed just the yolk with no shell. I kept her inside and she perked up overnight and she is back to normal. I’ve been giving her calcium citrate. Thanks for your suggestions!
