I have this hen that's laying rather large eggs. I hadn't been close to her after she layed, until today, and I was slightly worried by what I saw, it was like her oviduct was inside out... Some time after she seemed back to normal, nothing hanging out. Is this normal or common? Is there anything I can do to help her?

It sounds like she has the beginning of a prolapse but it worked itself out. I had a chicken that was walking around in the run with her insides hanging out - I simply used a gloved finger to push it back in and it was fine. I would just keep an eye on her, check her bum everyday and make sure you catch it if she prolapses again - you don’t want her to bleed out.
what breed is it? Production chickens can have this problem sometimes since they are bred to lay tons of eggs.

Don't know the exact name of the breed :/ maybe someone can help me with that, they're fighting breeds. I've been able to identify that we have Kelso, Hatch, the rooster is a Radio supposedly, but I have two others that I haven't been able to find the breed.
The picture of the hen isn't as good as the one of out pullet.
