    Soft shelled eggs

    I don't think it is any sort of bacterial/viral illness as she seems otherwise quite well. It's just before laying the egg she starts to slow down and put her tail down.

    Tips of comb are blue

    Her skin hasn't changed colour but her egg shells are really light almost white. But her feathers are a much lighter brown than the others who lay darker brown eggs. Could this mean anything?

    Bumble Foot?

    I used a cream called savlon not sure if u have that in America? The vet did say you could also use a vitamin e cream:) but I do think an anti septic cream would probably work best. So maybe even detol as well.

Half of...
