Crowing
My hen, almost a year and a half old, laid an abnormally small egg today which also has a weak shell. Further, she seems fatigued today. She's moving around still but something is definitely off. Advice? Something I should give her?

The same girl, yes. She's still on all Flock. I was afraid with one of my girls not laying at all, Layer food would be bad for her. I'm still a bit confused.Is this the same hen you posted about here:

Are you still feeding an all flock feed with lower calcium? Could you give her a human calcium citrate with D3 tablet daily for the next week? Aim for 600 mg daily if she is a regular sized hen. Calcium carbonate is okay to use if you only have that.
She may be experiencing a reproductive disorder such as salpingitis or an infection. How are her poops? Is her crop emptying by early morning? Let us know how she gets along.
