First time posting via phone app, so hopefully this goes ok...
2 year old Easter egger hen was looking fluffy and “off” morning, when I let them out she didn’t stampede out for food like the rest.
Second sign something was wrong is I was able to easily catch her. Took her inside and it seemed like her crop was still full, so I massaged it a bit and put her in the carrier crate, with water but no food, figuring it might be sour crop. Her dropping’s were also runny.
Had to go to work, so I left her there and when I came home she has pooped some greener/slightly more solid poop, and while her crop was less full it is still squishy. But when changing her paper towels I also found this thing:
The first photo is after I sort of pulled it apart, the first photo is how I found it. It had to have come out of her, I can’t think of any other way this would be in the crate with her. Is this an egg gone wrong? What can I do to help my Hennie?
