Sick Hen Laid Egg in My Hand

[centrarchid]

I have a game hen brought to be treated and observed for a health issue. She started looking about for wholes then jumped on my desk where I could see she was pushing out and egg. I reached out and prevented it from falling in the desk among power cords.

Is she doing better now since she passed the egg?

Still slow. I started an antibiotic regimen and gave her a pill that promotes clearing of digestive tract / crop. Egg was not a difficult one to pass.
