Chicken dying?

How do her droppings look? You can insert a gloved, lubed finger 1-2 inches into her vent to see if you can feel an egg. If she's egg bound she won't be able to pass droppings. If she does poop, how it looks may be important. As a new layer she could be having difficulty with an egg. It would be good to know if you can feel anything. If she's having trouble passing an egg then a calcium citrate +D (Citracal or equivalent generic) once a day can help with contractions and help her pass it. If you think she is sick, then a bath is not a good idea, but if she's having trouble laying, then a warm soak can help them relax and pass the egg. It can be particularly difficult to pass if it's soft shelled or shaped oddly.

Hey hello it is the next day and I still worried she eating now but she like falling asleep while standing sorted of and I think she might of fell down my ramp in the coop she eats food but I have to force her to drink water what could it be?
 
What do her poops look like, are they normal? If they are runny or mucousy, or if there is any blood, it could be coccidiosis. If that you will need to start treatment with Corid ASAP.
Coccidiosis can kill quickly, so if suspected treatment needs to be started as quickly as possible.
How is her weight, is her keel bone very prominent or is it well muscled (compare to others her age)?
