HELP,!!! My beautiful ex-battery hen, Brittany isn't doing well. She is sitting around puffed up with eyes closed and seemed to be sitting in egg white but I couldn't find the shell. (I've been dealing with soft shelled eggs for weeks and giving her extra calcium, but she lays eggs at a rapid rate)
She is straining and some egg white like material came out of her vent. I soaked her in warm water and Epsom salt, gave her calcium and electrolytes and water by syringe and now she's in a warm, dark place by herself. What else can I do to help her???? I fear that she's egg bound and it may have broken inside her.
One hour later I manually extracted a paper like egg shell from her vent but she still looks terrible! What else can I do for her?
