Pretty sure it was my Leilei. I snapped her out of being broody in the past week, and she's been back-and-forth having a full crop at night. She has good weight on her, and she looks and acts fine. Contents of the egg was a normal egg white. I've been giving my babies a teaspoon of Rooster Booster (Poultry Cell) for maybe a little over a month for an immune boost against the Bird Flu, alongside .25ml of Echinacea. Nothing else special in their feed, just All Flock (my only old girl has her own feeder of Starter Grower crumbles 'cause she can't do pellets anymore, but no one else goes for it).
 
Do you provide oyster shell free choice?

If she's coming back into lay from being broody, then mark it up as a glitch. If it become consistent, then give her extra calcium orally once a day for 5 days. Calcium Citrate with D3, 1 tablet each day.
Yup, they have free choice oyster shell. Hopefully then it's just a glitch. I gave her 1ml NutriDrench so she'll perk up and eat better.

Go easy on all the extra vitamins, you can over do those.

Is she not eating? If she doesn't improve, then it would be a good idea to check her over for lice/mites, get a fecal float to see if worms are an issue and make sure her crop is emptying overnight.

I'm trying to. The rooster booster is well diluted in their waterer (I tried doing 2tsp originally, but because the water was a thick brown color, they refused to drink).

I know she is eating because she still has good weight and doesn't feel thin. She still has color in her ears and comb and wattles, still very bright, tail's up strong, nothing too out of place. Sometimes she kinda slacks off on things, so it takes me and her half sisters and her mother sometimes to keep her in line.
