Shamo are more common here, they're still expensive, but at least they exist! Tomorrow I check if I can find someone who sells egg to ship. From Italy it wouldn't be a long trip, but mail service REALLY sucks here, I'm not sure if it would be better than from the UK, ahah!
About my hen: I don't know, I thought everything was fine except for her feathers, but in the last 3 days she pooped her egg in the night while she was on the roost! What does that mean? This never happened to me before!
Hmm this has only happened to me with starter pullets, or with eggbound birds that suddenly lay their egg. It's so weird! I don't know if you already have, but definitely make a thread about her in the diseases and emergencies sub section, something is definitely up
