Help please-old sick hen

Unfortunately a vet isn’t an option for me, as my only avian vet is out on vacation for two weeks and the only other one is multiple hours away and way too expensive. She’s moving more now, just skinny and puf

If she isn't pooping, is it possible she is egg bound? Maybe put on a glove and insert a lubed finger into her vent, which may help determine if that is the case as well as assist her with laying it.

Ok, thank you!

Also, 2-years is not old! My 9 and a half year old hens are still laying Albeit their eggs can be a little odd-shaped at times.

That’s nice! For my ISA browns and RIRs, they usually live to be 2-4 and lay eggs the entire time

How did she turn out? I hope she's all better now.
