    First time with a broody and so many questions!

    Is the nest above ground? Do you have a cockerel? Edit: You dont need to manually force her out to eat and drink most of the time.

    Will hen abandon eggs if chicks added?

    I would do it when the eggs start to hatch. Some broody hens sit for a couple of days after and some dont wait as long. I wouldnt risk the eggs being abandoned, especially if you dont own an incubator. Make sure to stick the chicks under at night.

    REALLY weird egg.

    Yep, I would think its just a glitch. Happens once in a while when a hen runs out of "ink". It happens more with older hens as well. Since blue and green eggs have a blue undercoat, its one of your brown layers.

    Chicken first aid kit

    thanks. I knew I was forgetting something... Wound care meds are great too, like the ones above. The other lists are great as well.

    Hen is sick and won't eat!!!

    Antibiotics dont work great with corid. When using corid, dont use antibiotics. Try eggs.

    Mites/Lice?

    I cant really tell in the photo. Look under her vent for mites or lice.

    blue laced red wyandotte with single comd instead of non-spiked rose comb? help

    That simply means the parents each carry a single comb gene. Its recessive so it doesnt show unless there are two of the same gene.

    Impacted crop?

    Yeah, a chickens crop is on the right. Try to get a picture once your home.

    Help matching eggs to chickens!

    EEs usually lay green and blue. Silkies, Turkens, cochins, and barred rocks lay cream/brown. I would guess the sexlink lays the darker browns. Although its better to catch them in the act. All your breeds except your EEs are not supposed to lay blue and green though.
