It has been a few days now, and she seems to have gotten much better :) However, this morning she laid an "shell-less" egg with visible shell, which is more than previous. I keep giving her the 500 mg calcium citrate capsules. I might have misunderstood something, but isn't 500 mg of calcium not...

Now, it might be hypokonder, since we just had to deal with a very sick Tove, but sometimes the tip of her comb turns sliiightly purple, and it also seems slightly...
