Possible blockage: not eating, pooping urates

[bmaw]

I have a 1.5yo 3.75lb legbar who's been laying fairy eggs since November, then laid about 3 soft shell double eggs connected and 2 deformed small soft-shell eggs. This happens about every 10 days. Usually Nutridrench helps her pass them within a day. She passed a deformed fairy egg a few days ago and since her appetite has declined to about nothing and she's isolating. She's pooping mainly urates with sometimes small gooey stool. I feel like something is blocking her stool and that's why she's not eating. I don't think she'll tolerate a soak. She's very skittish. Should I try molasses? Coconut oil orally? I do not feel anything from massaging her abdomen, but I haven't in the past either.

Calcium with vitamin D 600 mg daily given orally into the beak would be the best thing for her to try and get her eggs back to normal. She has some sort of reproductive issue, whether she is having problems with her shell gland or is having trouble absorbing calcium in her diet. What are you feeding, including extras?

That's what's in the Nutridrench. I also give her oyster shell flour in food, and on a treat, she was eating egg shells. Her diet is layered feed, scratch 1-2 times a day with calcium meal worms, some kale. My concern now is how to get what I think is one of these things to pass.

She needs more calcium then what is in the Nutridrench.
Calcium is needed for muscles to contract, which is what moves eggs along.
It also needs to be in a form which is quickly absorbed, thus the need for the calcium and vitamin D tablets.

Calciu citrate 600mg with vitamin D3 is needed with astuck egg. Give it daily until she gets the egg out.

Here you can just buy the tablets from the supermarket, I think around 600mg is normal.
She doesn't need to be eating to give it to her, you can just pry open her beak (pulling on the wattles if need be) and pop it in.
Very easy once one has the hang of it.
I don't think there is any risk of it going wrong, as long as she is in a fairly normal position.

The calcium citrate tablets with d3 are the cheapest. Just put the tablet into the chicken’s beak. Done.
