She is much better now thank you. But she's still laying huge eggs with very thin shells so I'm regularly giving them baked crushed egg shells, hoping that will help.

So glad she got better, hope she's still doing well. It's worth getting a list of specialist poultry vets, many of whom will give advice on the phone or by email. Most ordinary vets haven't a clue where chickens are concerned. Victoria Roberts is the expert poultry vet and does an online help service but I believe she charges for this now.

Thank you so much for the link, which I will keep although hopefully my girls will stay healthy now!
