Thanks for your help. I'm in a city but since my earlier posts have found a vet who seems to know about hens. The egg came out whole and Henrietta is a young bird in otherwise good health so the vet gave an anti inflammatory, antibiotics and some feed supplement to syringe feed. We are keeping her indoors in the guinea pig hutch (guinea has been evicted temporarily) in semi darkness and syringe feeding her water and supplement every hour or so. The vet was unsure why she is so weak as she doesn't appear to have an infection, so we will just do our best and see if she recovers.

Good luck to you and Henrietta.

Let us know how she gets on.

Update on Henrietta... this morning she is still lying down but appears brighter and has been able to eat mashed pellets and drink water by herself. We even had a few clucks from her. Will keep her indoors quietly and encourage her to eat. Not out of the woods yet but looking hopeful.
