Do you have any kind of calcium if she is having egg laying trouble maybe adding some calcium will help calcium citrate Or cal gluconate are 2 of the best

We have oyster shells

 

[Miss Lydia]

put oyster shell in water and let her drink the water better than nothing.

I hate to say it, but that looks like it could be from an infection.

If you decide to treat with calcium this is what I suggest​

---

Calcium Gluconate - Check feed store in cattle section
This type of calcium is absorbed better than the other types and it is what most vets will give them when they need calcium. I use 0.2 ml per pound orally or by injection in emergencies once or twice a day.

---

Calcium Citrate - check pharmacy
If you can't find the calcium gluconate at your feed store, go to a pharmacy look for calcium citrate.

The dose I use is ~50 mg per pound orally once or twice daily.

---

Calcium Citrate - check pharmacy
If you can't get either of the above you can use calcium carbonate.

The dose I use is ~50 mg per pound orally once or twice daily.

---

Tums
If you decide to use Tums, read the label! Some Tums are 500 mg, some are 750 mg, some are 1000 mg, some contain something to relieve gas, and some are artificially sweetened. Do not use Tums with Gas Relief or sugar-free Tums because I do not know if they are safe for birds.

The calcium dose I use when using any of the above is ~50 mg per pound of body weight once or twice a day.

Two Tums crushed in water. Give her swim time. That looks like egg hanging out..Hope it passes and infection hasn't set in...
