I have a close to 3 year old hen who has a history with soft eggs. On Sunday I noticed she had a dirty butt and some poop on her feathers around her vent so I gave her a bath. She was fine until yesterday morning when I found her on the roost bar in the coop in the late morning. I got her out and placed her in the run and she was standing weird with her tail down. Since then I have given her multiple epsom salt baths and yesterday I gave her a calcium tablet and today I gave her a dose of calcium gluconate. She pooped out some yolk yesterday but no eggshell yet. She is drinking little water and not eating her feed. Today I gave her some spinach and she ate it. This is the longest she has taken to pass an egg. She is able to walk and stand on her own. But very lethargic. And her face is very red. She has been pooping here and there but it has been mostly liquid some looked like egg white. I feel like I’m running out of time. Any advice will be much appreciated thank you.
