Pooped the contents of an egg ?

[want2know]

I have a year and a half old Orpington that I let out to free range with the rest of the flock and she stop short out the door of the run about 5 feet. Her wings were down at her side and she proceeded to poop a runny mess of egg yolk. Not sure if there was egg white as well. She turned to go back into the run and stopped in the doorway and just stood there.
What is happening? Have raised chickens for 9 years and never had this happen. Could it be related to molting?

Can you post a picture?Do you give your chickens oyster shells?

I had a BO do that a couple of years ago, basically f**ted a soft shell egg because I startled her. She laid a few more soft shell eggs after that but was fine. She did stop laying shortly after that though.

You can get some funky eggs(softshells are not unusual) as they ramp down production around molting time.
Take a look at her vent to see if a membrane might be stuck there.

No picture, the other hens ran over to eat it right away.
Just look like the contents of a broken egg, but with no shell.
Yes they get oyster shell.
