Hen eggbound with softshell covering

[The Chick Addict]

I have an almost one year old hen who has been laying for a while, and today I noticed her acting slightly lethargic with her abdomen facing downward as if she was pushing. Upon further inspection, I saw that her feathers were covered in a mix of poop and what looked slightly like blood, and a bit of yellow. I saw that she had a softshell egg covering sticking out of her bottom, and I put her in an epsom salt bath, where each time she pushed, I gently helped thread it out until it was all out. A pic of what came out is attached.

I washed off what was on her feathers and she is isolated and drying off. Her cloaca closes up to normal, and then sometimes
appears that she’s still pushing. I’ve attached a photo of what it looks like now.

I don’t know if she still has the egg contents inside of her, or if it came out a while ago and all that was left was the covering. Is there a way I could know, and was what I did the right thing to do in this situation? It all smelled like infection, so I don’t know what that means, if it’s inside her or if it was caused by the shell covering. Is there anything else I can do for her?

That yellow colored stuff on the membrane looks like it could be from an infection. Have you checked inside her vent for abnormalities?

Yes, I stuck my finger in there to feel how far down the membrane was, and when she pushed her vent looked completely normal; from what I saw there are no wounds or sign of infection inside her vent. There is some yellow material below it clumped on one of her feathers, but no wounds or other sign of infection either. Could the yellow be from egg yolk?
