It looks like it to me but I can't zoom in to see. Did you get the egg to come out? I think my best advice to you would be to take her to the vet sweetie. I hate to see you lose her and I am not sure if that is blood or not. If the egg breaks inside the yolk is very toxic and will eventually kill her.

The vet can't see her until tomorrow.

Okay.... I'm not sure what else you can do besides trying to remove the egg yourself without breaking it. Did you examine her internally? Try the preparation H cream and load her up with some calcium. You can even crush a little Tums in her water for the calcium. Lube her up good to help pass that egg!
I'm sorry I am not much help!!!! is she trying to strain at all?

Also try posting a new post about this saying "NEW EMERGENCY" and maybe someone else can be more of help or talk you through it. Did you check out YouTube? They have a lot of videos on this that maybe able to help you a lot better. Definitely soak her again in warm water and try to relax her. Keep her dry and warm afterwards so she doesn't tense up.

Yes flavored are ok. You may have to mix in a syringe with water to make sure she gets it in her though. That's what I had to do.

An egg bound hen should get calcium at about ~45 mg per pound *orally*.

i dissolved a tums in a small amount of water and gave that to her. I also have a heat lamp on her to keep her warm. Is there anything else I can do?
