Give her a human calcium citrate tablet with vitamin d 300-600 mg right away. Pop it right into her beak to swallow. Tums will work also. They can have egg shell troubles where there may be a soft shell, or too large of a an egg, and become egg bound. Do you have a picture of the wrinkled egg? Have you had any birds recently sneezing often? Do you feed a layer feed or have crushed oyster shell available to your layers? Here is a good price:

I didn’t have time to take a picture of the wrinkled egg it had a vary thin shell and broke minutes after collecting, i have both lay mash and oyster shells in the hens stall, im thinking the egg already popped
 
It sounds like something else may be happening. I would try to get some electrolytes, Gatorade, or Pedialyte into her. Is she in a cool spot in the shade? Some cool water (not cold) on her legs and belly might cool her if she has heat exhaustion or fever. Let us know how she gets along.

She had a seizure and passed in my arms💔

She was in my bed in the air conditioned house. I wrapped a small ice pack in a towel and let her choose if she wanted it

She was a amazing part of my family im glad i got to love her for the time i did
