If your hen is constipated, consider giving her a liquid solution to drink. Here's a link, scroll down to "LAXATIVE SOLUTIONS":

You do not want to give a chicken an enema, since it can flush fecal bacteria up into the oviduct, and that can result in a reproductive infection.

If your chicken is constipated or having a crop problem, many give coconut oil chilled and cut into pieces to offer the chicken, about 1-2 tsp per day. A tsp of mineral oil mixed into some egg or watery feed would give a similar result.
The emergency flushes that Dawg referred to above are given orally to flush out a toxin or something bad they have eaten.
