Hi,
I have a 2yo golden laced Wyandotte that today started acting off. She’s walking stiffly with a wide stance, and keeps squatting down and trying to push something out her vent. I already stuck a finger up there and felt no blockages or eggs. At one point when she put her neck down to eat, a little bit of drool came out. I felt her crop and it’s pretty much empty. She is eating normally, though. I suspect an intestinal blockage, but I’m afraid it could also be something like internal laying. Is there any way to distinguish the two, and how should I go about treatment at the moment?
 
A photo of the hen would help. Show her stance with a front shot.

Give her a calcium citrate tablet immediately. One per day for the next two or three days. This is what to get.
