She is in my back room I just blow dried her off. Now I need to apply some oil or vaseline to her vent. She is walking around on her towel I have everything I need for her treatment in the back room.

Okay morning information here. I am sad to announce that she has not passed an egg yet.

How is she doing in herself today? Have you tried to contact a vet?

She is still lethargic and sluggish, not attempting to eat anything! I even tried to give her some cucumber ( that is her favorite! ) But she still won't eat anything I did not want her to get dehydrated, so I gave her a syringe full of water. She got that down still wheezing when she breathes. I contacted several vets but they do not take poultry. I am also running low on cash so I am doing the best I can to keep her well. With the help of my friends on BYC as well. Here is a pic of her. My sweet Daisy.

Daisy my Buff Orpington hen 1 year appears to be egg bound she has not been laying eggs for a few days now she seems to be panting, weezing when she breathes and it is not even hot outside! I felt her oviduct and I feel something hard ( like an egg) stuck in there. She shows no interest in eating much and is lethargic. Not walking around much are these signs of an egg bound hen? If so, what should I do?

When you feel her abdomen below the vent between her legs is there any swelling or fluid?

You felt inside the vent for an egg- you mention you felt it, but was there a layer of tissue between the egg?
Is she able to poop?
What's her crop like?

Sorry that she has not passed an egg. It could be that she is not actually egg bound, but sick from something else. I would still try to offer wet feed, bits of scrambled egg or tuna, and offer water often. Can you get some clear pictures of her eyes? Do they look normal in color with round pupils. I am just asking because of the poor picture quality.
