Difficulty during egg laying — calcium deficiency?

okay! thank you TwoCrows i'll definitely be in touch with more questions, and will repost here in a couple of weeks about how she's doing. I hope she'd go broody, but she's really not the broody type

hi everybody, just an update that my hen is doing SO much better after the calcium and vitamin boost over the past week. better looking eggs, she's not struggling to lay them, and she's laying them in the right places again. i had no idea she was so deficient, we raise them so well. i guess she's a big layer for a little hen, and that's depleting on her, she needs a bit of extra boost.
