    Suspected Internal Laying: Worth Antibiotics?

    My 4 y/o GLW started exhibiting signs of internal laying--namely going to her nesting box, acting like she's laying, yet with no egg produced. She's done this two days in a row (and previously had been laying regularly). In my experience, this is a red flag/telltale sign of internal laying...

And if I cooked them up and fed to chickens, wouldn’t that be prolonging the withdrawal? Not to mention exposing the other girls to the antibiotics? What do you do with the eggs laid...
