    Suprelorin implant with an already formed egg

    Hello, not sure if this fits better here or in chicken behaviour and egg laying, sorry if it's wrong. I have a nearly two years old hen who got the Suprelorin implant late last year after a few soft-shelled eggs that led to a prolapse. The effects recently faded and her comb turned redder, so I...
