Thanks for all the information again!!!
I will go through it later, and learn as much as possible..
I´m going to schedule an appointment at the vet to euthanize her today (we choose an other vet this time). I really hope it will go peacefull...

So, it's done . I feel sorry for her, but at least she is not suffering anymore. I guess it was just her time (way too soon though)..
These are the pictures of those 'eggs' I felt inside her. I think that you guys were right and she was internally laying, right?
Thanks!

@LindaNL
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your photos. I'm sure it must have been hard to take a look. This will hopefully be helpful to others in the future.
I agree with @micstrachan it looks like "lash egg" or Salpingitis (infection of the oviduct). It appears there are at least 3 of them?
If it's any comfort at all, putting her down was a kind and loving thing to do. A hen cannot recover from this. I am so sorry.
If you don't mind, I want to tag a few people that would be interested in your thread and photos - @Eggcessive @casportpony @coach723 @rebrascora
+1 to @Wyorp Rock That it was a kind and loving thing to do.
