What to do??!!!

I have put her back with the rest of the girls and she seems to be doing finec

Yes, you should feel inside the vent for an egg.
She might be having trouble with a soft shelled egg, hard to know.

The poop is looking a bit better, it can be thin like that if they have any reproductive problems (swelling/inflammation and/or internal blockage). Check her crop to make sure it's empty in the morning before she eats/drinks.

I agree getting extra calcium into her would be good - do you provide oyster shell and grit? (I may have missed that).

Worming may not hurt, I would follow the directions on your Wazine bottle - you would want to start in the morning when everyone has not eaten/drank overnight.

If she's doing fine now, then I wouldn't feel for an egg.

Wazine17 only treats roundworms. For most other types of worms you can use Fenbendazole (Safeguard) or Valabazen. For treatment tape worms you would want to use Praziquantel.

I have them on a Scratch and Peck organic layer feed I only give them meal worms on occasion not daily

Is “Scratch and Peck” a brand name? Or is the “scratch” a reference to treat feed?

It's a brand name.

Thank you! So it’s not scratch at all?

No but...I firmly believe that it is not a great feed to feed because It is whole grains and the birds have a choice to choose which grains they would like to eat.

A pelleted or crumble feed is always best, in my opinion.
