Chicken might be eggbound

Hey everyone, i wouldn't post this otherwise, but i'm running out of options here. One of my chickens have been acting very weird these past 2 days. She seems to be letharghic, but responds to food well. And sometimes she just stands still, all puffed up, and seems to be trying to push something out (egg maybe?). She hasn't been laying properly this month and i'm starting to think it's because of internal parasites. Today, I dewormed them all, and now i'm just waiting. Is there any advice you could give me?

Can you insert a clean finger into her vent to feel for an egg? Try giving a human calcium citrate tablet with vitamin D orally. That could make her lay an egg if there is one stuck. If you have other calciummor Tums, that may work.
