We have one Red Sexlink chicken that is 2 years old. For the last few months she has had egg problems and they have been getting worse continuously. She started off with no shelled eggs then we treated her with calcium and got better, and after a few months same thing happened but calcium didn’t work. And in the last month she has been brooding and going lethargic. After that we give her some food then she gets better and expels the egg at night on the roost and is active again. This has happened around once a week or two.

Today we got back from a trip and she was very lethargic and not good. I checked her vent and it was a MESS. There was all this membrane-ey stuff and blobs of something like egg whites. We then pulled it out and it was jammed inside the vent. We gave her an epsom salt bath and cleaned her vent and then she went to bed.

I left some pictures and would appreciate it if some of you could look at it and give some idea, thanks 😀.

Was thinking something like that not 100% sure, but the people you pinged might have some more ideas.
 
Only broods when trying to expel egg so not sure if it’s actually brooding
