She is 2 years old and had been eating, drinking and pooping normally yesterday. Today she stayed in the nest box. I went out to check and noticed egg goo under her tail. I then saw a part of an egg sticking out. I brought her inside and put her in a warm water bath. I could see she was straining and a piece of softish shell was sticking out. I gently pulled it and it came out in one go followed by horrible smelling stuff. I couldn't see anything after so put her back out to see if she would eat/drink. She went straight back to the nesting box. I do give them oyster shells all of the time btw. I'm not sure what to do with her now. Ive attached a picture of what I took out. She drank some water but she only took one tiny bit of scrambled egg then closed her eyes again. Thanks in advance

Dose is ok, but I'm not sure about the sweetener, honestly. Maybe the educators know? @Wyorp Rock , @azygous @Eggcessive Edited to add, I just looked at my bottle of Tums, and that has sucrose, and folks give that as a emergency source, so I guess what you got will be ok.
