Egg bound or something else? Im a new chicken mama... pls help!

[HatCo]

I believe I have egg bound orpington. She cant fly up to the roost anymore. She is close to year and half old. She is lethargic, hasnt laid (at least since the day vefore yesterday).
We have tried warm bath with epsom salts, cooking oil on vent and tums crushed given orally with syringe.
Here are pics... Any help greatly appreciated.

We have calcium chips for our well but we aren't sure if thats okay to give her.
I gave her one half or close to it of a 1,000mg tums tablet crushed in water.

I think you can give her the whole Tim but I am unsure. Is she drinking water? Try to keep her hydrated, you can try electrolytes, sugar water, even Gatorade just try to get fluids in her. As far as giving a pill, you do not need to put in water or a treat, chickens do not have a gag reflex, so you can gently hold the beak open and just push the pill back until they swallow. I am sorry, I am not super experienced with this, I can only give what I know while we wait for others to chime in.

Thank you. I am giving her electrolytes (she eats & drinks when shes in warm bath). I have her in a cage set up in a dark humid (we ran a hot shower) bathroom because I read that can be helpful.
