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?

Hows the hen?

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!
