Hey! My chicken was on the nesting box last night and she pooped some clear looking watery and today there was this whole pile of clear stuff and shell membrane maybe? She had a full crop before eating. I gave her some calcium pills not sure if it will do anything. Any ideas?

I was gonna treat for cocci and worms, she is hunched up right now.

Same hen as this other thread? Did you deworm and treat for Coccidiosis?

Being hunched up and finding what you think is shell membrane in the nesting box, I would wonder if it's Albumen (egg whites) that you saw. She may be having a hard time expelling another egg. If you haven't given her a Calcium tablet this morning, then I would.

It sounds like her crop is not emptying - this is often a symptom of an underlying condition. If she's struggling with reproductive issues, this can cause the crop to slow due to inflammation, infection, blockage, etc.

Make water and a little food available for her.

If you have any antibiotics, I would give those too to help prevent infection since you don't know if the membrane broke before or after she expelled it. Amoxicillin would be a good choice.

Ok, thanks.
