Emergency

[therealestchicken]

My chicken was laying out in the yard so I brought her in the house she seemed lethargic and not like herself. I saw her a couple hours earlier and she was fine. I thought something was wrong with her leg but after moving her around she popped an egg out. She’s still not acting like herself and she’s panting a little bit. Is it possible she still has another egg in there?

I gave her some tums soaked in water and 20 minutes later she won’t even open her eyes I’m not sure what could be wrong pls anyone help

Yes, she still may have another egg on the way.

I'd give her 300mg Calcium Citrate+D3 now, then once daily for 3-5days. If you don't have this, then give her a TUMS.

See that she has access to plenty of water and you can also make food available for her too.

How is she doing now?

She’s still can’t walk but she is more alert and she’s been moving around a little bit. She will eat and drink still and she can slightly stand to adjust herself. I’m not sure if she has another egg in there or if she got hurt somehow. When I saw her the first time when she was in the yard, I saw my rooster on her that’s when I ran out and got her and brought her in the house, so hopefully she’s not injured

Have you given the calcium or Tums the last few days? If not, I would. And it might be good to place her inside a wire dog crate with food and water, or to separate the rooster for a few days. Injuries are common. Let us know if she continues to be lame.
