One of my new layers just laid an egg with no shell accompanied by a bunch of gooey stuff. I got the egg out of the run but the other hens were WAY excited about the even and eating up the rest of the evidence.
There seems to be something wrong with the hen as she appears to be stunned or at least very sleepy now. What do I do for my hen? Is she in shock? She has had access to oyster shell supplement for weeks and my other hens have laid eggs with nice hard shells (same age, same breed). Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated!
Update: I put her in her old brooder because the other hens were becoming interested in what was coming out of her back end and she was just out of it. I let her rest for a couple of hours and she seems to have snapped out of it. Now I only have to worry about if it happens when I am not home.
