Update: I've been checking on her all day and I don't think she's eaten. She is all puffed up and is laying on the floor now. She should be on the roost for bedtime. Is it possible that the yolk she layed(found broken) was a whole egg? Could she have had a rubber egg then broke a hard shelled...
My little Lakenvelder was acting strange this morning. She had her tail bent down, wouln't eat and was hiding. I thought she was about to lay. I checked on her a half hour later to find she was in the nest box, standing up and laying a Rubber shelled egg. I took the egg. A half hour later I go...
I culled the bird this afternoon. She sneezed mucus/ blood twice. I figued she wasn't going to make it. I didn't want her to keep suffering. I informed the man I bought her from. He said he's had over 200 birds die from this illness this week.

I really think she has CRD. Her eye looks no better and the mucus is worse. She has mucus in her throat and seems to be having difficulty breathing. I have been giving her 1/2 a cc of Tylan. Does this even have any affect on CRD? Is it a virus?
UPDATE: Last night when I got home from work I checked on her. She's not doing better. Now her bubbly eye is swollen shut, the whole side of her head seems swollen. She has mucus in her nostris and seems to be breating from her mouth. I don't think she's eating or drinking. What can I do?
A few days ago I got two Hens. One is an EE and the other is BO. The BO started to pick on the EE right away. The EE is sweet and docile. This morning I noticed the EE had a bubbly eye. So I put her in a small cage. That's when I noticed her crop was hanging very low, and was squishy and, was...
