Egg bound or molting? Update: crop problem and watery poop

Would her body still be creating eggs if she's molting, though?
☝️👇 Yes, a molting bird can sometimes still produce eggs.
She was under the weather, but felt better after she passed the soft shelled egg.
I'd continue to give her EXtra Calcium for a full 5 days since she's having softies.
She passed a soft shell egg the day before yesterday. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

I only suspected worms because of the full crop and green diarrhea
Do you guys think her "drooping" and lethargic behavior was a result of a crop problem (she had a slightly full crop after 12 hours not eating in the cage yesterday), egg binding, or just molting? Or a combination?
Could be a combination of all the above and more.
Re-check the crop every morning before she's had anything to eat/drink. IF the crop is not emptying, then address that symptom according to the article linked below.

A crop "problem" is often just a symptom of something else. Whether it's production/reproductive, not feeling very well due to molt, worms, infection, etc. it's very hard to know.
