My hen I dont what breed she usally lays 24 eggs and goes broody but something went wrong after when she hatched some chicks and they all died of microplasma and after 3 months she started laying but she didnt lay 24 eggs she layed 48 eggs in a row with out going broody she is not laying now and not even broody but her comb and wattles r red and after she layed 24 eggs her eggs got thicker and thicker after laying 48 eggs she layed 5 no shell eggs I dont know y she did that but really weird pls help she is not laying currently
 
Is she getting enough calcium? What age is she? Is she molting? How much protein is she getting? How many other chickens is she kept with?

I hope I can help.
 
Well her age is 1 year 3 months she is free ranging I have 4 hens 1 rooster they all lay fine eggs they get the same feed
 
After a year of age production begins to slow (though it doesn't stop). She could have a reproductive tract problem leading to her ending her laying. However, it could also be for another reason. Is she bullied at all?
 
No every hen is scared of her when she started laying she squaked like she is broody then she kept laying even when she pulled her down feathers when she was broody her feathers r still not growned yet it has been 6 months I dont know when she started laying her pelvic bone it was only 1 finger gap instead of 2
 
I would suggest feeding scrambled eggs with finely ground shell inside of it to offer her vitamins (for health), calcium (for egg shells) and protein (for her feathers).
