3 year old silkie egg troubles

[hollandhens24]

I have a 3 year old silkie who has just started experiencing egg problems. She has been a very reliable layer of about 5 eggs a week, is the first one out of the coop and last one in, second in our pecking order, and always first to get to the table scraps. She laid a thin shelled egg about a week ago and I suspected it was due to switching from layer feed to starter feed to accommodate my little chick in the flock. The hens are getting egg shells for calcium, but maybe need oyster shell also? I have since started offering the layer feed again to see if this helps. She then laid a rubber egg the next day. She has not laid another egg since (about 5 days) and she had yellow on her bottom, like maybe an egg had broken. I have soaked her twice to try and help if she is egg bound. I cannot feel any hardness and, until today, she was getting in the box, sitting for a time, then joining the flock free ranging. Today she has not left the box. There is not a vet in my area who will treat chickens. What kinds of things should I be doing for her?

Today she has not left the box.

I would give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for 7days, she if she expels and egg or lash material.

Do you have photos of her poop?

Feeding the flock chick starter or an all flock feed is common practice when you have chicks within a flock, just provide oyster shell free choice for the actively laying pullets/hens.

I don’t have photos of her poop, but I noticed yesterday after she soaked in the tote she had a very normal looking poop. I had hoped she was about to lay an egg/clear whatever material she may have, but it was just a poop I will absolutely pick up calcium tomorrow and give it to her!
