Thank you Kathy for all your help. When should I start the vitamins from giving the the Sulmet and how long should I give them?

I ended up bringing my hen back in the house after 4 days. I went out Sunday morning and she acted like she was trying to lay and egg but couldn't. I did every thing suggested on here and she finally lay the egg today. She seems allot more alert but still not 100%. Can someone tell me how to take care of her now that she has laid the egg. I am not taking her back outside no time soon. Do I need to give her anything other than her feed and water? I have ordered some wormer and not sure when it will be safe for her to take it. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

If you think she's having issues laying, try giving her a human calcium pill.

Ok I will start doing that. How long do i do this and what about worming her? Should I wait awhile? I don't wont to put to much stress on her..

Quote: If she's eating and drinking there's no reason to wait if you're going to worm with Safeguard or Valbazen.

Yes she is eating and drinking not as much as she usually does but I figure it will take more than a few hours for her to act normal again. The egg was pretty large for a silkie. Yes I ordered Valbazen to worm all my silkies with. Thanks so much for all your help. It was such a relief when she laid that egg today..

My hen is not eating much on her own. I am having to feed her scrambled eggs out of my hand. Today it looked like she laid and egg the size of a jelly bean and the shell was really soft. Any ideas what might be going on with her now? I also gave her the calcium tonight. Thanks in advance. I am starting to worry I am gonna lose her..

Her poop looks normal as long as she has the eggs in her system but as soon as all the eggs have been passed her poop is watery with bright green poop mixed in it.
