I'm gonna figure you're asking about a crop issue since it looks like you're withholding food.. see if this link helps..

On second thought.. egg binding is deadly fast and acv won't help.. from described symptoms (not pooping).. usually warm epsom salt bath and other measures are taken.. a quick link (while I'm looking for better ones).. but you'll wanna check the vent, maybe insert a gloved finger to feel for an egg, lube that area up..

ETA: the magnesium in epsom salt bath absorbs through the skin to support muscle contraction/relaxation. Feeding a tums or other rapid calcium may also support the muscles.

Some links that better describe the process of checking for an egg..
