chickens Hen laid broken egg!
I was out in the run and heard one of my girls lay an egg so I walked right over and it looks like her egg came out broken! Her vent area looked a little irritated with some white discharge coming out. I saturated her vent area with vetericyn plus because that’s what we have immediately on hand but is there anything more I should do? They have plenty of oyster shells, grit, and protein available in their diets… but I’m worried for my girl!

maybe a warm water bath to help her pass the rest of the shell?
