My broody silkie has been broody for a month now and is laying fairy eggs. I just took her off the nest and when I put her on the ground she started screaming. Please tell me what is wrong. Calcium deficiency? @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @sourland . She has laid three like this

I would guess her system is depleted from setting so long. I would break her broodiness so that she can regain condition.
Agreed. I'd break the broodiness.

Do check her for lice and mites since she's been sitting so long.
