UPDATE:

 Mari has been in the house since noon yesterday and will eat out of my hand but not out of the bowl. will only drink from a medicine dropper not from a bowl. She pants like she is in labor calms down and starts panting again, and only moves to adjust herself. she doesnt really poop, but there is constantly poo around and on her vent and feathers ( kinda like it just oozes out from time to time) Her comb is a little pale. she does not make much noise but when my dog came into the room she clucked a couple times and thats it.......

 

Has anyone had a hen act like this and know what may be wrong, or could she just be broody even without a clutch of eggs?

UPDATE #2

 

Mari is doing great. She went back outside 2 days ago and is running around acting normal as can be, except she has not resumed laying as of yet, hopefully soon, but at least she is back to normal eating drinking and running around the yard being a chicken again

I never did feel a stuck egg, nor did one pass

Thanks for the advice from everyone
