Hello everyone, I am asking for help for my year-ish old australia langashan hen. At about 8.49 this morning, I found her with a piece of shell hanging from her vent. I removed, soaked her in warm epsom salts water to relax her muscles, gave her a hot water bottle and kept her inside, but she seems to be not doing much better. She only wants to sit in the best box and sleep. I have tried to feed and give her a drink, and have given her some antibiotics. I have also tried to get her to eat some shell grit.

There are pictures attached (she is much more red in real life) She is a very special pet to me, so any help is very appreciated.
 
:hugs
I know what it is to have a sick pet. Hopefully she recovers on her own.
I never encountered such a situation, so don't have any advice.
I see above, you tried your best. That is what I would have also done.
No pictures came thru with your post. Try EDIT, and attach pictures
Or just attach pictures into next post.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and,:welcome

UPDATE
I have given her a calcium tablet every day , as well as some antibiotics. She is looking a little better, but is still a bit tense and won't eat and drink too much, I have kept her inside, and have given her Epsom salt baths. Her poop is of an egg white consistency too. I let her out for some fresh air, and she has walked around. Is there any way to give more energy? I was thinking of vitamin c, (I have tried electrolytes in water).

At 3 am last night she layed this. It's kind of like a jelly-ish egg. It is hollow inside and has a bit of blood on it. It also smells a bit like a rotten egg.
