This morning I had to pull a soft broken egg out of my silkie hen. She had a little prolapse but I was able to gently push it back in. I brought her in and gave her a warm bath (see video) She has pooped out the remaining liquid part of the egg but I'm not sure if I got all of the shell. She's been lethargic all day. She did eat a little scratch and has been drinking water. I managed to find some Norocillin today but I have no idea how much to give her because she is a bantam. Any suggestions?

For any procaine penicillin G , dosage for chickens is 1/4 ml given into the breast muscle 1/4 inch deep once a day for 4 days. Alternate sides daily. Aqua Mox amoxicillin for fish online can also be given orally instead, and dosage is 50 mg per pound once or twice a day for 7-10 days.
