Hen passed blood clot & weird egg membrane

Just a small update: it's now been over a month since Pluisje first 'laid' blood and a tiny thin-shelled egg. She is eating, drinking and pooping well. I don't get the impression she's gained a lot of weight (I had to toss out the scales as I was driving myself insane) but she does not seem excessively skinny compared to any of the others, either.

Otherwise she is active and affectionate but also clearly kind of done with what has turned out to be quite a big molt. She only loses a few feathers a day now and is mostly focused on growing new ones.

Her implant is for six months. I also hope it lasts a while - I have worried about the size of the eggs she lays in comparison to the size of her body pretty much since she started laying. I want her to have the longest rest possible.

Thank you for the update.

I'm glad to hear Pluisje is still hanging in there.

Hopefully once she gets through molting, she will improve even more.
