Thank you so much. My Hen has a healthy bright comb, crop feels normal, her underbelly feels normal, the vent looks normal…but below her vent her bum is mostly bald with signs of new growth…it’s the size of a tangerine, soft squishy.. no pain reaction when i gently massaged it. Is it an egg possibly?? She hasn't laid for several days now.

If she were egg bound for several days, she most likely wouldn't be here. The epsom salt bath you gave her sometimes relaxes them to be able to lay the egg, but she didn't. Just in case, I'd give her a human calcium +D pill. That will give her contractions and if she's got an egg stuck, she should be able to lay it. If you don't have any a Tums would work.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Definitely post in our Emergency forum. However I had a hen that was internally laying that had exactly what you described on your hen. Antibiotics can help with internal infections however nothing can stop them from depositing yolks in their cavities. Hopefully someone can help you in our ER forum. :hugs
