On August 13th 8am, my hen laid a normal egg.
August 13th afternoon, she started to feel weird. It appeared to be a crop issue. She seems better on August 14th and 15th, but did not lay.
August 16th (today) morning 8:30, we saw her laying her egg. She was really struggling. Then we saw this
We thought she laid a good egg and a broken egg.
Upon close examination, the "broken egg" is really two eggs
It appears that the middle egg got crushed by the two surrounding eggs. I am glad that the shell all got out but obviously the middle egg yolk is left inside, right?
Should we flush her vent? What will be the best course of action? Thank you.
