Thank you! I meant more like I wonder what problem are the antibiotics helping? Hoping it can be healed fully and isn’t a chronic issue
My guess is reproductive infection if she stopped laying before she got sick. It’s quite common. Hopefully she can return to laying without issue but sometimes they do become susceptible to recurring infection.
Make sure you regularly clean their feeding and watering apparatus. Change bedding in nesting boxes regularly and keep their dust bathing areas clean. Chickens can get bacterial reproductive infections via reverse peristalsis through their vent. You can supplement with probiotics once the antibiotics are finished as well.
