What does black poop mean?

Well, thin-shelled eggs indicates low calcium intake. Once she gets enough calcium she'll lay perfect, healthy eggs. Some things you can give to her are crushed oyster shells, used eggshells, etc.

she has been on 300 mg of calcium citrate pills every day for a week. I think the egg was also calcium coated and felt sandpaper like and a little powdery, so I thought there might be an excess of calcium in her body.

Oh, I see. Well, the only thing I can think of is to take her to the vet. It seems like you are doing everything correctly, but the only option is internal bleeding. Now, remember don't expect to see blood in her poop, it just comes out black.
