Something sticking out my hens vent

[aswartzalso]

My Buff Orpington Rosie has been a great layer. She is only thirteen months old. Every now and then she lays a huge egg that is a double yoker. She laid a super big egg the other day and yesterday I noticed a squished part of a soft egg in the nesting box. Today she has been in the nesting box and I noticed when she went out there is some white stuff hanging out of her vent. I am trying to catch her to investigate further and will let you know what I find. Is this prolapse? Or another soft egg? Oh no.......Any advice helpful.

Sounds like it's a soft shell hanging out of her vent. If you catch her, try calming her down. Then SLOWLY and gently pull the shell out.

Tough to tell what it is even with the pic expanded. You havnt caught her yet? When you do, let us know what it is.
