White leghorn egg broken inside!

[Emilyi]

So lastnight I went out and found that my white leghorn had a broken egg inside her she was on the box trying to push the shell out. I left her be and went out this morning and she's up and alert and seems fine I didn't see any shell but they probably ate it but I'm still worried I don't wanna lose her. What should I do?

You should check her for any remaining shell and if found you should pull it out with a tweezer.Otherwise I dont know because it has never happend to me.Sorry!

 

[Emilyi]

How do I check though? It's never happened to me before either this is the first time and I'm worried
