Really hope someone can help and shed some light. My hen is nearing 2 yr old. She is usually healthy but today is fluffed, slow and not really eating, but drinking. I found a clutch of about 4 or 5 peppermint sized eggs this morning where she sleeps. I know it is from her as I only have 2 hens. Does anyone know what is wrong with her, and what can I do?
Thankyou all
 
Sorry I really don't know- are the eggs of normal texture or are they 'rubbery'. I would imagine that whatever has happened has obviously made her off olour but the fact she has passed these eggs should hopefully make her feel better.
The only thing I would perhaps do is a warm belly bath or hot water bottle wrapped in towels (and enough space so she can get off)- This would relax her muscles and help pass anything else if there were more to come.
Maybe also some sugar water to keep her energy levels up?
