An egg without a shell broke inside my 1 year old bantam hen… she tried to lay it out but I ended up having to pull it out. She’s soaking in a warm epsom salt bath to get any of the remaining whites and yolk stuck on her butt and vent, it was pretty nasty. I don’t see any egg shells or any membrane leftover in her vent. What should I do?! I’ve never had this happen before I’ve only owned chickens for 2-3 years. I’m going to give her some crushed up eggshells from another chickens egg because I don’t have any oyster shells or other calcium supplements on hand. Should I give her antibiotics? I’ve tried posting about this on medical emergencies but no replies yet so I also wanted to post on here for more immediate answers. Thank you to whoever can provide some info
