Suspecting Marek's - Should I quit growing my flock?

What do you feed her, including treats?
Did the eggs break when she laid them (maybe stepped on them) or does she have a discharge from the vent that looks "eggy"?

She laid both of those today? Did her stance/standing and behavior improve any after she laid them?
How long has her toes been curled?

I agree with @microchick those look like soft-shelled eggs instead of Lash Eggs, which, imho is a good thing. You don't want to be dealing with Lash Egg (Salpingitis).

Here's what I would do if she were mine. I would give her her normal balanced poultry feed. Eliminate those Durvet vitamins/electrolytes. Instead give her 1/2 tablet of Calcium like Caltrate daily for 1 week. I would also give her 1/2 tablet human B-Complex daily for 1 week.
Keep treats to a minimum, say 5% of her daily intake. See if she improves.

I just switched them over to All Flock because I got ducks. She gets mealworms. Since she’s been in the house I have gave apple sauce. No her eggs aren’t breaking. The two from today were both soft shelled. One wasn’t closed on the end. The other I think she stepped on. Thanks for all your help

An All Flock feed is fine to use, I use one too. I would still get the calcium and b-complex into her for a week.
When using an All Flock type feed, it's important to provide oyster shell free choice as well, the girls that are laying will usually take what they need.

Oh yes, I mix it in with their feed. That’s the only way they eat it lol.
