Momma Hen 51 Posts Sign up Now!	This is the same chicken that i performed an impacted crop surgery on and she has been doing Great until this morining! it has been a couple of months since the surgery and she still hasn't layed and egg, being as she was sick for so long i didn't expect her to any time soon and the time of year it is! While i was in with her this morning She took this nasty poo infront of me! It looks like their is egg shell in it, there is also the reddish almost bloody looking chunk to the left. Could it be broken egg! She hasn't laid an egg in months! I am worried about her, she is extremely aggressive towards the other hens! has been the top hen since we put her in, but their are no other signs of distress! just nasty poo and aggressiveness towards the other hens, even the rooster!

It has nothing to do with egg. If you want, you can try to give a bit of sauerkraut into feeding 3 times in week. Or you can put 0,4 litre of vinegar into 10 litres of water (or equivalent amount, but in the same mixing ratio) and give it to the hen, but just for one day!
