I found this in her pen right now while I let her roam the yard and wipped more coconut oil on her. Looks to be a “soft” egg? I don’t know how long it’s been in there but I doubt longer than today. Didn’t pay attention when I was with her earlier. It’s for that soft squishy membrane “shell” layer and when I cut it open it had liquidy white material but no yolk and it was flattened

Thoughts..

Passing softies like that can cause a prolapse.

I’m not sure when that was passed but my BEST guess is maybe sometime today or late yesterday because red ants would of started to get it and they hadn’t. There was no yolk in this egg, usually when my other hen lays soft ones occasionally they are normal inside inflated and has yolk and white. What do you think this could mean for her?

Not speaking from any experience with turkeys here, only chickens. When my ladies pass “water balloons” as I call them, they come out sometimes completely irregular looking, less white than yolk, no yolk, not completely sealed, super elongated, etc.
With my ladies it has almost always meant that I had another entering the laying cycle (I’ve only had a flock for about a year and some were behind in maturity, but have found water balloons and “fairy eggs” when they started laying, including this spring as they’re re-entering the laying cycle).

Yeah.. I’m just trying to make sense of this and tie it in to the prolapse she has and figure out well does she have another egg waiting in there or was this her issue cause she still pushed and prolapsed or what else..

If you can take her to the vet tomorrow I think that would be best.

I’m about 95% sure we are. Mom and I both agree and love her so much. We want her looked at to figure this out. Its almost dark here so I will wipe with Chlorhexadine one more time and clean warm water and then use the coconut oil to try to gently get it in if she fights me again I’ll just leave it moist and lubricated for the night and allow her to rest and hopefully relax it. And that’s all I should do right cause she’s about ready for bed and is stressed over it all

I just read through the whole thread.
You are doing a great job.

Did you get some calcium into her?
Giving extra calcium could have helped her to get this deformed egg out sooner.

I haven't read your other thread about having her tested for MG yet...going to go look for it now.
