Chicken had a hard time laying a egg and now she is sluggish.

So sorry! Yes. She was 5 months old on the 4th. She's been laying for a week or so now.

That changes things a lot. I'd still keep an eye on her, though. If she doesn't go to the coop and roost you might want to keep her in the garage over night just to be safe.

Even with her poo being liquidy? She just passed more and it comes out clear and dries mucusy white yellow. Was keeping her separate so she could get her nutridrench. Should I put her back with the rest of them now that she has drank a decent amount, should I put her back in?

Hold on...
Sounds like she might have a broken egg that she is trying to pass now.
Got an Tums laying around?

She is a salmon faverolle! She is so sweet. We are hoping she's just worn and sad from the egg.

Is she a salmon faverolles? I have a couple of those and they are sweet. She really looks weak and worn out. Sometimes when they have a soft or shell-less egg, they may have trouble laying it, and become weak. Softies can be common in new layers. The white runny dropping is likely white urates, which can be from several things, possibly dehydration. I would glove up and feel inside her vent with one finger about an inch or two, for a stuck egg. Make sure she is drinking fluids, and offer plain water as well in case she doesn't like the flavored water. You can also give the NutriDrench in a dose of 2 ml daily into her beak instead of in her water. That can be less expensive, and more accurate. Offer some chopped egg, tuna, or liver in addition to her feed.

That sounds like she may have passed a shell-less egg after laying the first, which means there was some sort of disruption in her reproductive system. That is better than the diseases I named, much better usually. I'd keep her separate overnight with access to the nutridrench water and food.

We do have tums! What's the dosage?

Break one up and mix it with an egg..see if she will eat that.

Read through this..
I'm not sure if I would give her a bath right now though...but you might find something useful in this article.

You could wet/soak some feed a small amount and mix and egg and the tums up in it.

Originally put her back with the others while we prepped her old brooder with fresh bedding and she just laid on the ground. Put her in and she's not eating or drinking currently, but she drank a bunch before and appears to be resting. Thank you all for the help. I will update on any changes.

Just went to check on her and she's up a bit and drinking again, and I found a pretty decent sized normal poo.

The water and Nutri Drench is probably perking her up.
At first I really thought she was just having trouble working out the kinks with being a new layer..
Then you worried me a bit with her poop..but the more I think about it the more I think she is just working kinks out and will be fine.

I'm still not sure I would remove her from the flock...that can cause unnecessary stress which could make things worse...especially if they are not picking on her.
