Thank you, I'm happy too!

She was actually egg bound, but she's recovered now :) Thanks for replying!

I figured out after posting this thread that it was not an actual lump, but rather just puffy feathers because she was egg bound. She has recovered now. Thanks for replying! :)

Me too!

Thanks @HorseGirlAbby :hugs

She is looking really good. Thanks for all your help!

She ended up laying another soft shell egg yesterday evening... and ate it. We've never had any egg eating problems before (from anyone!). Why did she do this? Did she think she needed the nutrients? Or because it was a soft shell? She also laid one this morning, a regular hard shelled one...

I haven't checked. Good idea, though.

She was looking really good last night. We let her back out to free range with the flock at about 4:00. I couldn't tell by looking at her that she had been sick at all. No egg, but she's eating, drinking, and pooping. I gave her a calcium tablet this morning. She's still looking pretty good...

Yes, I gave her extra calcium. She did not lay an egg but she’s eating, drinking, and pooping. She perked up a bit since this morning.

Me too. It's my sister's special hen and she'd be devastated if anything happens to poor Pebbles :(

No. She's the top of the pecking order, so she doesn't get picked on.

Thanks, friend! I'm praying too :hugs

Checked on her this morning and she’s droopy again, although not as bad as yesterday. She’s back in the cage now.

Thanks for your help and kind words :hugs

I've seen droopiness before with another sick hen. This is the second time I've had a relatively serious illness on my hands, so you get to know the behavior, I guess.

Will do! Thanks so much for your help!

Ok

Yes. She looks great; no more drooping. She's eating some scrambled eggs with eggshells in them and some mash with crushed calcium tablet.

Here’s the egg. Should I try giving her more calcium in case there is another egg?
