Guessing egg bound, but not sure?

That sounds like maybe egg bound. Try making a warm bath (I usually make it a little on the warmer side but not warm enough for a comfortable bath temperature for an adult wanting a nice soak) with epsom salt. Then submerge her and let her soak for 15-20 minutes. That might help her pass the egg/s (if that is what the issue is). This worked for my girl with egg issues. Hope she gets better!

How is your coop doing?? Did that fully open side work-I need your answer because it may change the way I do things
