If you're certain you know who it is then just the one who is having issues, if you aren't entirely sure you can give one to everyone who is laying, it will be fine as it's only short term. It is a pill and you'd use the same ones made for humans, you should be able to find them anywhere that sells human vitamins

I'm sure it's one of the reds. It's white so it's very noticeable. I couldn't see it on my white leghorns. I'll have to catch them🐔 and check it out. 👍
 
Chicken's urine is white.
Clear & thick is egg white
If the egg did not break, but a whole egg held by membrane, you will not see any residual from the vent.
When the egg break, york and egg white fall out, most likely the membrane or soft eggshell hanging from the vent, but you must check immediately once you see the broken egg or else the other hens might pull it off or lucky if it hang on all day.

The egg without a shell didn't break. 20250615_194702.jpg
 
Are you sure that is the hen laid the egg without shell?

Like @FrostRanger says if you are not sure, give 1 each for now.

You know who dune it from seeing it.

How to give the tablet:
You just need to hold your hen between your left side and left arm, gently hold her head with your left hand, gently separate her beak with your right hand and in go the tablet.

Might be wrap her in a towel so that she does not struggle too much.

I quess I'm not sure 🥴. I just saw the white stuff this late afternoon. Just before it got dark. So, now I'm just going to give it to all of my girls.
 
Also, you might like to start on vent checking to work out who dune it. It will give you some idea, hopeful enough to isolate who and monitor.

I noticed when I let my flock out in the morning that is outside of their runs and coops to play.Suddenly one hen try to get back into the run to her coop ..that is because she ready to lay her egg.

Some hens lay egg in the afternoon so it will be a long wait.

All the best.
