Need some Help please

[Cowboy1974]

My wife and I had an egg bound chicken this morning. after my wife got the egg shell out Goldie seemed to be doing better she has been resting since about 1:00 pm California time. We are still very concerned Goldie has been sleeping for a while and has not poop.
When My wife picked her up a few minutes ago her legs are turning kinda pink Goldie is a 1yr. old Orpington Buff. Goldie is my baby girl. Can anybody help with advice or insite PLEASE.

If the egg shell broke inside her, it would set up a serious infection. Is it possible to take her to a vet?

Oh, I am so very sorry Goldie didn't survive. I can't even stop the tears clouding my vision as I type. She looks so sweet and I can see how ya'll love her. I have no comforting words because I know that no matter what I say, nothing will ease that pain in your heart or fill that sudden emptiness that you don't know what to do about. I do know that she was well aware of how much you love her and sm glad you were able to be with her while she passed. If ya'll are anything like me...no matter how many years pass, you will still look around when you thought you heard her cluck or the click click sounds of her walking through the kitchen. At times you will cry and chuckle while thinking or talking about her. I only hope as time goes by, the chuckles increase while the ache and tears subside. I will light a candle for her and let it go out on its own as she did. I'll think of comforting thoughts and hope you can feel the shared feelings from the kind members here.
