One of my hens has laid 5 oops eggs since 9:00 last night. What could be causing this and what do I do? Thanks you

How old is she? Did she just begin laying or has she not been laying for awhile and just started back recently?

If she were mine I would give her a human calcium pill or a Tums.

castportpony knows her chicken medicine. I would do what she says. You can just break it up and they will usually eat it in chunks.

Ok, thank you. I'm headed to get some calcium pills right now.

I just gave her some calcium. I have her in my tub sitting on some towels in the dark. I thought maybe she could use some peace today. Thank you to everyone for helping me. I just love my chickens and hate for them to be ill in anyway.
