I believe my oldest hen Krispy has become an internal layer

She and Kernal are all thats left of my first 3 chickens.... If she goes I'm not sure what Kernal will do..... Why me? Why am I only loosing my hens... All my birds that have passed have been HENS....

Same here,

My Gwen, Snowball, Puffball.

Are you sure? I thought Beejee had it,

Pale pink, walking like a penguin and very lethargic for two days. I was sure I was going to lose her, but one large egg and poof, she was back to normal.
I hope she's not, how is she?

She's still trying to act her tuff old self but I can tell somethings up with her. Her abdomin (w/e) is rounder and I think I feel something like a bulb up in her. It's not hard like an egg or anything but the last day she layed (softshell) was on 5/31. I took her to a show in late April and it seemed like after that she stopped... Since the show she's only laid 3 eggs 1 hardshell and 2 soft.... I just don't know what to do... Might end up spending my money that I've earned from my part time job and take her to the vet...Not sure how much surgery will cost.........literally fml...

I don't have the money to take birds to the vet, I just put them down sadly.

Sounds to me like she's stressed out. Stress can be deadly to chickens, and judging by how you took her to a show recently before she started laying soft-shelled eggs. Sounds like quite a coincidence, doesn't it?

Try giving her electrolytes, supervise her food and water intake, and make sure her diet is well supplemented with calcium.

There's a thread on here about that, taking an egg bound hen to the vet.
Do you have a vet that will take chickens in the area? $ 125 something to take my Gerbil to the vet for a look over (Picked him up, looked at him and put him back) and a topical allergy med.

But our vet is beastly expensive.
