It means she’s not feeling well.

Ok well thank you.

Could you post a picture of her? How is her poop? When was the last time she laid an egg? Have you separated her from the flock? Has she possibly eaten something spoiled or poisonous? I hope she feels better!

Her vent was very dirty a little white I've been having problems with her having really large eggs and today she tried laying an egg it was just water stuff coming out of her bottom. I gave her a nice Epsom salt soak. I blow dried her nice and popped her a calcium pill put probiotics in her water she's with her sisters now in the coop. later tonight before I go to bed I'll clean the water out again and put some apple cider vinegar in it. Sorry I haven't responded was a little nervous and went on the website here and told me what to do. I've been a member for one month and I read a lot of threads where people need help and they're nervous so all you get is please help my chicken? So I answer them and ask questions if I can't help them. I tag other people If I can't. But I always reassure them that I'm going to try to find them help. It gives them a little bit of relief while they're waiting. I understand that they don't tell you right away what's wrong because they're nervous and panic sets in. I would never respond to a person that needs help and say well it mean she doesn't feels well. And that's the end. Ok I made my peace. Thank you everyone that did respond.

White fluid? Sounds like internal laying to me. Does she have her tail down? Feathers are ruffled? Treat for internal laying immediately.
Take those calcium pills you put in her water, and pop half of one down her throat.
To do this, grab the top of her beak, or pinch the sides of her mouth to get her to open. Pop the pill inside her mouth and it goes down easy. That will give her immediate help in expelling egg material. I usually sit with my legs out, and squeeze them between my legs to do this.
Separate her within the coop/run as long as its not to cold out, so you can monitor her food intake, her water intake, and what she expels.
I'm so sorry about your baby, just want you to know that your doing an amazing job! How long ago did you notice this? Hopefully not to long ago, and she'll get better soon. Keep up the good work, and photos of the "white stuff" which I'm thinking is albumen, (egg white) would be helpful as well.
You got this! Hopefully your sweetie will hopefully get better soon.
This is treatable, as long as she can pull through.

Thank you so much I already popped a pill in her before I put her in with her sisters I'm in the coop now she's looking at me like I'm crazy. She just pooped it was very watery and I cleaned it up before she could sit on it and make a mess. I hope tomorrow she'll be okay thank again and I'll update. She's really sleeping now because she was washed blow-dried and now she's just tired.

Thats good. Keep us updated on how she looks tomorrow, and if she's the same or worse, I would separate, and monitor.
Hopefully she makes a comeback!
