Welsh Harlequin 8 months old was having yard time and looked normal however I think it’s been two days since her last egg normally an every day layer. She is shaking her head, can not walk and putting her legs out behind her. This happened out of nowhere just now. It’s not letting me upload video. I tried to give 1 mo poultry cell but what do I do?

Update:
Hit her hard with molasses to detox as we had no charcoal left. 3ml poultry cell and electrolytes. She saw the grit and literally crawled to it and went nuts then the same with the oyster shell. She started looking for food so we gave her a few pellets in water and she started to perk up. Took several wobbly steps but stood pretty solid.
Continuing electrolytes through the night but took everything else. If anyone has any ideas what would make this happen so fast and also see recovery not 💯 but improvement that fast as well. I have read so much and I’m baffled unless it is heat related? Or calcium - vitamin deficiency?
I’ll check her crop in a few hours and in the morning again and still don’t feel anything hard in her abdomen
