Help!

Soft egg passed yesterday. Soak and isolated. Vent massage and glove probe after only part of shell(semi hard) came out. Had to leave. Last night she passed another small portion, I know there is more but I don't feel it inside
Should I just keep isolated with no food but water? Should I feed her a scrambled ? Im at a loss as to how to help her finish passing it.

I think once the shell breaks inside the risk of infection skyrockets. I will tag some experts @Eggcessive @azygous @Wyorp Rock

If an egg with a shell breaks inside a hen, the shells can perforate the oviduct and the yolk can become a medium to grow bacteria. An antibiotic should be used in this case. This is a serious medical emergency.

To get the egg remnants to come out, give a calcium tablet directly into her beak. It will stimulate contractions to push them out.

The yolk came out, she ate it. 2 sections of shell have come out. One small section over night. I did an ACV/Water flush about 30min ago. She drank water, im withholding food. When I massaged the bottom part of the vent this morning she didnt like it and white stuff came out. I gloved and felt in there again. I don't feel shell but idk how far I can go in there. I will run and grab some tums and I guess give her a whole one broken up? Its horrible because I have to leave in 30min and wont be back til this evening and my husband can't do these things.

I found a women's calcium supplement in the house. 650mg so I gave her 3/4. Im just gonna have to hope for the best while im gone. Am i correct in only allowing her water?

Thank you. I have leave in 15min. Gave her 3/4 of a 650mg calcium chew. She has water. Should I feed her at all? Shes roosting in isolation. Scrambled egg or just water?

This is what passed over night(the wet is a ACV/water flush) the section i pulled from the vent yesterday was 3x that BUT her eggs are really large lately. See pic.

I would feed her. She needs her energy.
