Back story :About 7 ..? weeks ago, I Purchased 2 beautiful 7 week old chicks. The looked great. About 7 ,? days after I had them ..I tried introducing them, my 3 hens hated them, so back into the huge separated, but attached pen they went.
Few days later, the chicks excrement was completely bloody and they both passed.i was told they did not have any vaccines. I don’t know if this is relevant to what happened. Then I noticed my hens passing round worms.
I treated my hens for round worms with safeguard. And repeated 10 days later. (Prior to That, once I saw the chicks had bloody droppings, I gave them all Corid for 3 days to be safe.)
we ended the second round of safeguard over a week ago.
‘since then~ one hen lays eggs, seems normal and Kay’s eggs again.
hen#2. Seems normal. Squatting. But No eggs.
hen#3. Fine yesterday morNing , but late afternoon in Kain, eyes shut. panting. , Egg bound. Soaked, massaged. passed a balloon egg.
today. ...seemed fine, but at roosting time, haunched over in pain. Soaked. Massaged, passed a yolk, then after a syringe of warm water in her vent, a soft shell came out.

what wrong. I’m so distraught. Of course....she is my favorite.

how is your chick today? A normal egg yet?

Thank you for asking.
No....still having problems. I had to soak the EE Saturday as well, and we had another soft egg. So since then, I’ve been giving her a daily dose of calcium gluconate. 1.5 ml once a day. I was told to do it twice a day , but she really fights me.
i have 3 hens...two aren’t laying eggs. 1 occasionally laying.
I soaked the EE, (soft-shell layer,) this morning....got nothing, but she isn’t straining. Her feces was bigger yesterday morning, but under the roost from last night, I can see her droppings were very very small. ..so I’m guessing another egg is in there. She is 2 1/2 years old.
