Hasn't laid in a week?

[LeslieMerrill]

I have a Penedesenca pullet who laid her first egg about 2 weeks ago. The day of her third egg she got sick. She was really lethargic and I thought she was going to die.

I put her in a quiet, cool place and she eventually perked up. The day she got sick, she didn't lay until sometime overnight and the egg was funny colored. Around 10 am I found she laid another egg but it didn't have a shell.

Since then she's been acting fine but hasn't laid in over a week now. How long can I expect it to take for her to bounce back?

The eggs that she laid were already developing in her reproductive tract when she became ill. She will not lay again until she is loo % healthy and has regained any lost weight. It will all depend upon how rapidly she recuperates.

Poor little girl.

Hope she'll get better soon.

I'm thinking it was heat exhaustion but I'm not 100% sure.
