Is my hen sick?

This afternoon, I noticed my 2yo EE hen behaving oddly. She was at the waterer, drinking a lot, and showing no interest in treats. She had a milky discharge coming from her cloaca. I checked on her a little while later, and she had left the shell of an egg, along with some white discharge in a nest box. She was sitting in another nest box, but no longer had the discharge on her bum. Is something wrong with her? Is there anything I should do for her? I've attached pictures of what came out of her, and her bum afterwards.

It looks like she had a shell-less egg burst inside and she ppassed a membrane. I would give her human calcium citrate with D or a Tums orally today and for a total of 7 days. They may feel very weak when they are passing shell-less eggs.

Thank you! How much calcium should I give her?

I have 600 mg calcium carbonate with D. Would that work?
