Update: tonight in the roost she laid an egg. It was smaller than normal but not too small. It was much lighter color than her normal blue eggs, and felt rough like light sandpaper, but still had a shell. It took it inside and it broke in my hand. The inside looked fine. Do post sick hens lay...

I believe it was around 3 days ago.

I thought that too but I remembered that health cecal poop looks like this, (FIRST PIC) but my hen’s was very strewn out and weird. In all of her poops she had been expelling a weird clearish or whitish mucus. This is an example of her poop in her prime sickness, a huge blob of mucus. From then...

This was her poop today. It wasn’t like this yesterday.
