Chicken help!

Does the collapsed egg have any pink or beige tissue inside of it, if you cut it in half? I prefer to give fluids by dipping their beaks into the water in a small cup. Sometimes holding a spoon up to the side of the beak they will take a small amount from there, or from a syringe or dropper held to the beak. If she eats, you can add some water to a small amount of feed.
 
Most of the time these problems are due to infection or lack of calcium or problem with calcium absorption in the shell gland. See if she feels better after laying the shell-less egg until another comes along. Give the calcium (300-600 mg) daily for 7 days.

No tissue just clear liquid kind of slimy looked like a ballon after I un crumpled it. Ok. Can I give her calcium and the antibiotic? Or space them
 
What antibiotic and dose did he prescribe? Check her crop first thing tomorrow and daily to see if it has emptied overnight (before she eats or drinks.) Smell her breath for a bad odor when you feel of her crop. If her crop is full and squishy she could be developing a slow or sour crop. Monistat cream or nystatin given orally twice a day, is used to treat sour crop.
She is acting better however last this morning she laid another shell. Should I up the calcium? It’s 300 mg and I have been giving egg shells. She won’t eat oyster shell. Crop has been excellent after coconut oil massage.

I got home today and this was here. I posted this already but don’t see. It so sorry for the repeat of its there. These are two separate things and laid a little while apart.
The 1st pic was hard to tear open and had substance for sure.

Yes you could increase the calcium to 600 or 620 mg if you like.
I upped the calcium to 400 because that’s all I can seem to get in her without stressing her and today got just a yolk she did not look like she felt good before hand. After the little lash egg I’m really starting to worry. Is penicillin or the clavamox the right antibiotic? She had been acting normal again prior to this and still in the house. No hard eggs just the rubbery shell, followed by another then the little lash egg looking thing then the yolk. I’m so confused.
 
After doing some digging I am wondering if Coccidiosus is possible?

The diarrhea could be related to reproductive infection, crop problems, or the oil. Coccidiosis is usually a problem in young chickens. But if younworry about that you can treat her with Corid just in case. Have you wormed them lately? Valbazen or SafeGuard liquid goat wormer are good. Amoxicillin or clavamox would be okay, and some use enrofloxacin for reproductive infections.
