my chook pooped an incomplete egg???

[Thefallenfeather]

update
there's a second egg .
Her belly feels fuller compared to the other chook but that might be because she not roosting were chooks normally root

It could be she’s a bit egg bound. Or fat

I'm not sure.
But there's a small chance I have miss lead you guys. I think this is the other chook not the one that was broody cause the one that was broody hasn't molted yet and the picture of this chook has nice new shiney feathers.

I feed them pollard and barastoc grains and greens. downstairs I have a bag of pellets I am yet to bring up and add to their food. about 2 months ago I threw some cuttle fish bones to them but in saying all that I do have 15 birds in total so there's a chance she's been missing out on the feed.

The Pollard and Ballarstock is Layer feed, yes? So it has calcium then that’s good but sometimes they need extra so if you can get crushed oyster shell to leave out for them. They’ll only eat what they need from it. Another thing I do I save all the shells from my own birds eggs I rinse then let them dry and when I haves good bunch together I bake them for a few minutes and then I crushed them and feed them back to the birds in a separate bowl. They love that.

Oh I just see you give cuttlefish bones that’s good Calcium too if they eat them

I'm not entirely sure if the pollard and feed are for layers. I just buy them what ever so they get a variation of grains and greens, 3 grain mix and something else I think. and they get all our food scraps like normal fruits and veg and meat occasionally. they do eat a lot of dirt cockaroches cause we have mango trees in the yard

We do the same thing with the egg shells for free choice calcium.
You can also try giving tums, for when the egg just won't pass, a nice warm bath also helps in these situations. As long as you treat the problem and the problem doesn't continue you should be okay. Watch to make sure she is passing eggs with hard shells.

They carry a layer feed. If you can get that one but oh my birds eat feed that’s not layer style no extra calcium added it’s an all flock style because I have ducks, geese and chickens, they just have the oyster shells and Their own egg shells on the side. And occasionally I’ll see a duck with a struggle to get out an egg or have soft shells so I give liquid calcium gluconate one ML with a syringe and repeat once a day for a few days. Calcium is very important if they don’t get enough in their diet they take it from their own bones to create the egg shells

So it's been a few days now and I've been keeping an eye on her. She has turned out fine she's back up the top with the other at night, I don't know what happened but she's back, and she eating like normal but she is a bit more voilent towards the other chicks'.
