Egg bound? Or something else?

I was wondering, does anyone have an example of what an egg bound hen looks like, and how to treat it? I noticed this morning one of my hens (Golden Wyandotte, just turned 1yr) was waddling/limping a bit. So I picked her up to examine her, and under her vent she has quite a few feathers missing, now her entire belly, and pretty much her entire bottom is red and swollen and enlarged, and it feels like a balloon almost. It is kinda...squishy I guess... Does this sound like egg bound? Or something else? I'm so confused.

No advice, but posting pictures is usually better, so that the experts here can clearly see what's happening.

Good luck.
