My hen Quack laid her egg sometime this morning. About 5pm I noticed she was not with the other chickens and was in the coop. I took her put, she seemed okay. I noticed an hour later she was missing again and found her in the coop again. I watched her and she had some semi runny poop and drank water. She didnt seem interested in food. I got a helper and started checking her over. There was a white tube hanging out her rear and upon pulling gently at it a ton of white liquid and more tube came out. She is droopy and wobbly with some panting. It is a chilly day here. I am not sure what else if anything I should do for her. She is my favorite hen. I seem to be having issues with softer shells. They get 1/2 cup of crushed oyster shells daily but I dont think they are eating them like they should.
