First I got a gloved/lube glove and checked her vent to see if I could feel the egg. When you do that you want to be really careful so you don't break the egg. Mine's egg was 1/4 to 1/2 inch in. Next I used the calcium supplements that are 500 mg (which was the dosage that was recommended to me). I gave her 1 500 mg pill, but I used a pill crusher and crushed it up and then mixed it with some water and used a syringe and did it that way, however, the person I got my advise from (casportpony) told me I could give the pill to her whole. I gave her the supplement on Saturday evening and the next day she was walking around normally without droopy wings and she laid her egg Sunday evening. My understanding if she gets to the point of not being able to walk you not only need to do the calcium but put her in a steamy (sauna like) bathroom to see if the steam helps her pass the egg. If that doesn't work I would suggest messaging casportpony, I got very quick responses and from reading all the posts that he/she made is a wealth of knowledge
I hope this helps and she passes her egg, I was sweating bullets!
How is your hen?
