Is calcium carbonate ok to use? Otherwise will have to use tums…Since she's been laying and she's an aging hen, I would suspect that she has an egg backed up inside her or she has reproductive cancer. This time of year, old layers can have problems as molt is undermining health. Shell-less eggs can be an issue and they often get stuck.
The first we can try to treat. The other would be her end. Give her a calcium citrate tablet whole directly into her beak. If it's an egg that has her feeling sick, the calcium will stimulate contractions to push out whatever form of egg she may have stuck.
