This hen was pretty lethargic the other day. We assumed it was the heat and she was a little better yesterday. Today she was worse and her comb was pale. I noticed she had some loose stool down her backside.

I brought her home and soaked her in some warm water. She let me flip her on her side and I found some small shell fragments in the stool. I cleaned her off some more and noticed something hanging out of her vent.

Right or wrong I don’t know but I gently pulled and the rest of what I guess was an egg came out.

What are my next steps? Thanks in advance, I’ve never dealt with this before

Also want to note that we lost one of her sisters a little over a week ago. Similar symptoms to start and again we thought it was the heat. She passed while I was out of town and my wife found her so I didn’t see anything after the fact.
