My silkie hen has become sick in the last few hours. She was fine this morning and now she’s not. I saw her standing listless in my yard. She lost her appetite. I gave her a soak and she shot out this soft shelled white thing that doesn’t quite look like an egg. She’s still pushing and nothing...

Thank you. Do you think it’s possible that the coccidiosis is preventing her from absorbing the calcium? She used to lay normal eggs until I started getting the bloody poops from her.
I have an adult silkie hen that has coccidiosis. Online I read that bantams should have 1/2 tsp per gallon. I’m assuming that’s not enough as she seems to be declining. What’s the correct dose for an adult silkie? Also, she’s getting weaker and laying soft shelled eggs now. Is there something I...
