Is this a shell less egg? Or? (PIC INCL)

[MissFink]

My 22 week old Andalusian had this come from her vent. She has not yet laid her first egg and I am very concerned.

She seems a little quiet but eating just fine.

I opened the membrane and it very much seems like the white of an egg. It doesn't look like a tape worm to me, even though there are some creases in it.

I've felt her vent and pelvis and I don't feel an egg. Advice?

That's just a weird shellless yolkless egg. Sometimes in new laying or about to lay hens they lay odd eggs, till they get things worked out.

I agree with Imp, just keep watching her.

Just went and checked again and found she'd passed the rest, a yolk and more white. She has a little dripping out. In my mind, I don't see it being a "broken egg" because there isn't a shell. Should I soak her or anything?

I would just leave her and keep an eye on her. However, if it's really gross and sticky (and not something she can clean herself), I would maybe wash her off with some warm water.
