I am very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, EYP is just all too common in our backyard flocks. At least you tried hard to help her, and now she is not in pain. Take care.

It could be that she has internal laying or another one of the reproductive disorders, instead of egg binding. Those can be very common in hens 2 and over, especially high production egg layers. If you Google "egg yolk peritonitis" you will find several good links to read. I will check back in...

Can you feel inside her vent with one finger about an inch or two to check if you can feel an egg? You may want to also give her some vitamins with the calcium. Is she passing any droppings? How long since she last laid an egg? Has she had any signs of soft shell eggs or signs of laying...
