Go to this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/637090/my-first-lash-egg-experience/10 Post #17, which was quite a while later, gives a lot of details after taking their chicken to an avian vet (which I'm sure cost a pretty penny). Depending on how badly your girl is suffering, you may or may not want to put her down - I believe in quality of life over quantity of life. She may bounce back for weeks or months at a time, or she may not. I'm sorry that she's going through this, as I know how frustrating and sad it is to deal with...
