Jean's no better so on the recommendation of a neighbour, we ring the vet. Lovely chap who agrees to look her over. Does and X-ray and it transpires that she has egg peritonitis (an egg formed in her abdominal cavity)
He gives us a couple of calcium injections to give her at 12 hourly intervals. I've never injected a chicken before, so this is daunting, but we manage.
She does appear a bit more perky, but we keep her in the box till morning.
Meanwhile, Dolly the Bluebelle seems a little off colour and won't come out of her nest.
