My Blondie was laying soft eggs. I got nutridrench. She broke one inside, isolated her doxyvet and calcium, she passed some more shell but not 100% all of it. She went back to flock a few days ago and doing well. I was just waiting for an egg(she didnt eat well for a few days). Today she got sluggish and alone again. Comb bright red. She went in the nesting box 3x with no luck so I put her in a bucket with warm water & Epsom salt. A few hours later I realized she must have dropped one overnight from the roost
I see yellow but no shell. What should I do now? Gave her another tums she has 2 days of Doxyvet left for 10day course. Other 5 no shell problems. They have calcium in the water they have separate grit & calcium. Idk how to help her. She picks at grass, drinks walks. But she is not interacting with the group.

Hey sorry to hear about your chicken. As soon as possible get your hen some calcium citrate plus D3. It’s a human vitamin you can find at most stores. She will need 400-600 mg for a few days at least. This regimen will also help her expel any shell material she has retained. Hopefully with this plus a few more days of antibiotics she will bounce back.

Also, try offering her chicken feed wetted down into a mash.
